Hunnesrück Castle was a hilltop fortress erected in the 13th century near Dassel in the Amtsberge hills of south Lower Saxony, Germany. The castle was destroyed in 1521 during the Hildesheim Diocesan Feud, leaving only fragmentary remains of its moats, walls, and ramparts. Now designated an architectural heritage monument in Lower Saxony, these ruins testify to the region's medieval fortifications and the destructive conflicts of the Reformation era.
