Anebos Castle, Rock castle in Annweiler am Trifels, Germany.

Anebos Castle is a ruined rock castle on the northwest summit of the Scharfenberg at 463 metres, above Annweiler am Trifels. Its original layout measured about 60 metres long; today only a few wall remains, a filter cistern once mistaken for a rock cellar, and stonemasonry traces on the rock survive.

The fortress was the seat of the lords of Anebos from the early 12th century and was abandoned in the early 14th century. The inhabitants left voluntarily, leaving no traces of destruction or conflict.

The fortress was the seat of the lords of Anebos and represented their power in the region. Today the remaining structures show how a small noble family lived in this remote location.

The castle is accessible via marked trails through the Palatinate Forest, with parking available in Annweiler am Trifels nearby. The hike takes a few hours and the path is well marked in good walking condition.

The name Anebos probably comes from "Amboss", the German word for anvil, suggested by the shape of the rock. Until excavations that began in 2000, the cistern cut into the rock was taken for a cellar; the digs also showed the castle was lived in until the 14th century.
