Alt-Geroldseck Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Seelbach, Germany
The stone walls of Alt-Geroldseck Castle rise 10 meters high above the Black Forest landscape at an elevation of 366 meters.
The Lords of Geroldseck constructed this fortress around 1260 as their family residence until French forces destroyed it during regional conflicts in 1688.
The Association for the Maintenance of Hohengeroldseck Castle Ruins organizes annual September festivals to maintain local heritage connections and site preservation.

The remaining structure includes outer fortification walls and the main building of the upper castle, offering views across the surrounding territory.
