Wildenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Dannenfels, Germany.
The stone walls of Wildenstein Castle stand at 486 meters above sea level in the Wildenstein valley near Donnersberg mountain.
Built around 1200, Wildenstein Castle formed part of a strategic network with Falkenstein, Hohenfels, and Tannenfels castles in the Palatinate region.
The castle architecture demonstrates medieval military engineering principles through its motte and bailey structure common among German fortifications.
Information boards throughout the castle grounds provide detailed explanations about the structural elements and historical significance of this heritage site.
The castle remains reveal the original defensive position selected by free nobility, situated among dense woodland at the base of Donnersberg.
