Burg Ruppertsecken, Medieval castle ruins in Ruppertsecken, Germany.
The castle remains stand at 498 meters above sea level, with stone walls rising against the Rhineland-Palatinate landscape.
First documented in 1344, the castle belonged to Palatine Counts Ruprecht I and Ruprecht II before its destruction during a siege in 1470.
The castle represents medieval German defensive architecture, with its strategic position reflecting the military practices of feudal times.
Visitors can reach the castle site by following marked hiking trails through the Donnersbergkreis region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
A water reservoir built in 1889 takes the form of a medieval keep, incorporating modern functionality into historical architecture.
