Burgruine Werdeck

Rot am See, Germany, Germany

Burgruine Werdeck is the remains of a medieval hilltop castle located near Rot am See in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Built in the early 13th century and first mentioned around 1220, the fortress stood on a prominent spur above a bend of the Brettach River, giving it a strong defensive position. The castle was owned at different times by the Counts of Lobenhausen and the Lords of Hohenlohe. Over the centuries it gradually fell into decline, becoming derelict during the 16th century before being destroyed in 1797.

Today, only a few remains survive, including parts of the shield wall and the defensive ditch. Despite its ruined state, Burgruine Werdeck is an important historical site and a popular destination for hikers and visitors interested in the medieval history of the Rot am See region.
