Burg Wildenstein

Leibertingen, Germany, Germany

Burg Wildenstein is a remarkably well-preserved medieval castle located on a rocky cliff high above the Danube Valley near Leibertingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, the fortress occupies a dramatic position overlooking the Danube Gorge and is considered one of the finest surviving castles in southern Germany. The castle was extensively rebuilt in the 16th century into an early modern fortress, and many of its defensive features, bridges, moats, and walls remain largely unchanged today.

Its interior also contains notable Renaissance wall paintings and historic architectural details. Today, Burg Wildenstein serves as a youth hostel operated by the German Youth Hostel Association, allowing visitors to experience life inside a genuine medieval castle. Its impressive setting, rich history, and excellent state of preservation make it one of the most popular landmarks in the Upper Danube Nature Park.
