New Bolanden Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Schlossberg hill in Bolanden, Germany.
The rectangular fortress stands at 260 meters elevation, featuring remaining wall sections and a visible neck ditch from its original structure.
Built between 1200 and 1300 by imperial ministeriales of House Bolanden, the castle underwent multiple changes before French forces destroyed it in 1689.
The castle functioned as a residence for three dowager duchesses from Palatinate-Simmern between 1475 and 1598, marking its noble significance.
The castle ruins remain accessible for exploration, providing visitors with an opportunity to examine medieval defensive architecture in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Arnold Weickard, Frankfurt's city doctor and medical author, resided at the castle while serving as personal physician to Dowager Duchess Anne Margareta.
