Reuland Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Burg-Reuland, Belgium
Description
Reuland Castle is a medieval ruin situated on a hilltop in the eastern part of the Eifel region. The structure features thick stone walls and a fortified layout that once protected an outer courtyard and residential areas.
History
The castle emerged after 1148 when the von Reuland family built it as a fortified stronghold in a border region. In 1322 it passed into the hands of Count John of Luxembourg, who was also King of Bohemia.
Culture
The castle includes an information pavilion containing archaeological artifacts, ancient documents, and seals that illustrate the medieval period of the region.
Practical
Visiting works best in dry weather since paths on the hillside can be steep and slippery at times. An information pavilion on the grounds displays findings and helps with understanding the ruins.
Did you know?
A deep well system built within the fortress served both to supply water and provide defense advantages. Such engineering choices reveal the technical knowledge of medieval builders.
