Burg Koppenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Hunsrück, Germany
The castle complex includes a pentagonal tower rising 20 meters high, deep defensive trenches, and remaining foundation walls of former buildings.
The Counts of Sponheim established the castle in the 12th century, and Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria granted it town rights in 1325.
The castle served as residence for the noble family von Koppenstein, descendants of Count Johann II of Sponheim-Kreuznach through his illegitimate son.
Visitors can climb the preserved pentagonal tower without entrance fees and experience views across the surrounding Hunsrück region.
The defensive moat reaches depths of 10 meters and extends up to 20 meters in width, demonstrating advanced medieval fortification techniques.
