Sprengelburg, Medieval castle ruins near Oberweiler im Tal, Germany.
The stone remains of Sprengelburg stand between Eßweiler and Oberweiler im Tal along the L 372 state road in Rhineland-Palatinate at 267 meters elevation.
Built around 1200, the castle served as a stronghold for the knights of Mülenstein until Strasbourg merchants destroyed it in retaliation for repeated raids.
The castle ruins received official recognition as a German cultural heritage monument in 1983, preserving the medieval military architecture of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through multiple hiking trails that connect to the main Pfälzer Bergland route system near Oberweiler im Tal.
During 1976 excavations led by University of Maryland students, researchers discovered a woman's skeleton within the castle grounds, adding archaeological significance.
