Altleiningen Castle, Medieval castle in Altleiningen, Germany.
The castle stands on a 300-meter hill overlooking the Eckbach Valley, featuring four round towers and a quadrangular layout from the 13th century.
Built between 1238 and 1241 by Count Frederick III of Leiningen, the castle controlled the entrance to the Eckbach Valley alongside Battenberg Castle.
The castle hosts the Neuleiningen Castle Summer Concerts, presenting open-air music performances throughout the summer months since 2004.
The castle includes a youth hostel, and its former moat now contains a heated swimming pool for visitors to enjoy during warmer months.
The castle cellars maintain Germany's largest wild bat colony, creating a protected natural environment within the historical structure.
