Veldenz Palace, Medieval castle ruins near Veldenz, Germany.
The stone fortress stands on a hill spur at 320 meters above sea level, overlooking the Mosel River valley and surrounding vineyards.
Frederick I Barbarossa confirmed the castle as part of Bishop Albert of Verdun's holdings in 1156, establishing its role in regional governance.
The castle ruins maintain elements of medieval architecture, including a bergfried tower and defensive walls that showcase construction methods from different periods.
Visitors can access the restaurant located in the palace structure, which features a stepped gable and offers views of the Veldenzer Bach valley.
The castle extends 100 meters in length and 30 meters in width, with steep drops on three sides that provided natural defense advantages.
