Burg Reichenberg, Medieval castle in Reichenberg, Germany.

Burg Reichenberg stands on elevated ground in the Hasenbachtal region of Rhineland-Palatinate, featuring high flanking towers and a Mannerist shield wall.

Count Wilhelm von Katzenelnbogen and his son Wilhelm II commissioned the construction of Burg Reichenberg in 1319, establishing it as a defensive stronghold.

The castle represents late medieval architectural achievements through its preserved hall with a ceiling supported by cubiform capitals and defensive structures.

While the castle remains under private ownership, visitors can observe its exterior architecture and defensive elements from designated viewing points in Reichenberg.

The northern flanking tower of Burg Reichenberg collapsed four decades ago, altering the original symmetry of this 14th-century fortification.
