Burg Wolkenstein
Sulzbach-Laufen, Germany, Germany
Burg Wolkenstein was a medieval hilltop castle near the hamlet of Altschmiedelfeld in the municipality of Sulzbach-Laufen, Baden-Württemberg.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it was a type of motte-and-bailey castle situated on elevated ground overlooking the surrounding countryside. Although little is known about its documented history, the castle may have served as the seat of the Lords of Schmiedelfeld, a family first recorded in 1172.
During the 13th century, the family likely moved to a newer residence nearby, and the original castle gradually lost its importance. By the 17th century, the site was already described as abandoned and overgrown with woodland.
