Schwalbach Castle, Medieval castle in Burgschwalbach, Germany
Schwalbach Castle stands on elevated ground, featuring stone walls and defensive structures that characterize medieval military architecture in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Count Eberhard V of Katzenelnbogen directed the construction of Schwalbach Castle between 1354 and 1371, establishing it as a strategic fortification.
The castle represents medieval German architectural traditions through its stone masonry techniques and fortification design principles of the 14th century.
The castle grounds remain closed to wheelchair users, and visitors should prepare for steep terrain when exploring the exterior structures.
Gilbrecht of Schönborn served as the first documented burgmann of the castle in 1373, marking the beginning of its recorded administrative history.
