Castle Kastellaun, Medieval castle ruins in Kastellaun, Germany
The stone fortress sits on a hilltop overlooking the Rhein-Hunsrück region, featuring an inner bailey, outer bailey, and defensive bergfried tower.
Built between 1200 and 1226 by the Counts of Sponheim, the castle served as a strategic stronghold until French troops destroyed it in 1689.
The castle grounds house the House of Regional History, displaying Celtic and Roman artifacts that document the area's ancient past.
The castle complex includes restaurants serving traditional meals, while the restored sections provide space for outdoor performances and events.
The castle's documentation center, opened in 2007, contains detailed records of the structure's architectural evolution through eight centuries.
