Schloss Friedelsheim, Medieval castle ruins in Friedelsheim, Germany.
The rectangular fortification includes a 16-meter-high tower with an observation platform offering views over the Rhineland-Palatinate landscapes and neighboring castles.
First mentioned in 1418, the castle changed ownership multiple times before being destroyed by French troops in 1794 during the First Coalition War.
The castle grounds now house a Mennonite church constructed between 1836 and 1838, representing the evolution of the site's religious significance.
The tower underwent restoration in 1986, receiving an external staircase and new roof to accommodate visitors seeking panoramic views of the region.
The castle's remains incorporate buckler stones at its edges, a distinctive architectural feature that exemplifies medieval German defensive construction techniques.
