Burg Obergrombach, Medieval castle on hilltop in Obergrombach, Germany.

The castle complex includes an upper and lower section, featuring a four-story residential building and a rectangular stair tower measuring 25 meters in height.

First documented in 1207, the castle served as a stronghold for the Lords of Grombach before becoming a possession of the Prince-Bishops of Speyer until 1803.

The castle chapel, converted from a former synagogue, contains wall paintings potentially created during the era of Bishop Johannes II Nix von Hoheneck.

The castle remains a private residence of the von Bohlen und Halbach family, with public access limited to heritage open days and castle festivals.

The castle grounds contain a private family cemetery and a public swimming pool that opened after World War II.
