Burg Niederburg, Medieval castle in Kobern-Gondorf, Germany

The castle features a three-story bergfried measuring 20 meters in height with an entrance positioned 10 meters above ground level.

Built in the mid-12th century as a fief of the Electorate of Trier, the castle changed ownership in 1309 when it was sold to the Archbishop of Trier.

The castle structure incorporates elements of Late Gothic architecture, demonstrated by the remaining two-story palas and defensive fortifications.

Visitors can access the castle throughout the year without admission fees by following a footpath from the Mühlbach valley.

The castle maintains an amygdaloidal ground plan and contains preserved elements including a wall tower, cistern, and substantial outer wall sections.
