Burg Zeltingen, Medieval castle ruin in Zeltingen-Rachtig, Germany
The stone remains of Burg Zeltingen stand on a hill among vineyards, overlooking the Moselle River in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Dating from the 12th to 13th centuries, Burg Zeltingen served as a customs station for collecting ship taxes along the Moselle River until French forces occupied the region in 1794.
The castle bears multiple names, including Kunibertsburg and Rosenburg, reflecting its connection to the Archbishopric of Cologne and regional noble families through centuries.
Visitors reach the castle ruins through walking paths that wind through the surrounding vineyards, offering views of the Moselle Valley and neighboring historical structures.
The castle's structural design mirrors that of Ehrenfels hill castle near Rüdesheim, featuring defensive elements adapted to protect against attacks from higher ground positions.
