Burg Randeck, Medieval castle ruins in Mannweiler-Cölln, Germany.

The stone fortification stands on a steep hill at 263 meters elevation, featuring remaining walls, corner outworks, and flanking towers along the Alsenz River.

The castle's first documentation dates to 1202 with Henry of Randeck as its resident, followed by generations of noble families until 1690.

The Cultural History Society of Mannweiler-Cölln maintains the castle ruins, preserving the medieval architectural elements and regional noble family heritage.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked paths that lead to the elevated position, offering views toward the Donnersberg mountain.

French forces destroyed the castle during the War of the Palatine Succession in 1690, after which parts were rebuilt for temporary habitation.
