Burg Beilstein

The castle stands on a steep rocky outcrop above the Moselle River, with remaining fortification walls and a bergfried tower offering views over the valley.

First documented in 1268 under the Lords of Braunshorn, the castle changed ownership to the Metternich family in 1637 and was later damaged by French troops in 1689.

The castle grounds now feature a restaurant operated by the Sprenger-Herzer family, connecting visitors with the medieval heritage of the Moselle region.

Entry to the castle costs 2.50 euros, and visitors should note that the steep terrain makes the site inaccessible for people using wheelchairs.

The castle overlooks Beilstein village, which maintains its medieval character due to limited structural changes caused by economic circumstances until the 20th century.
