Castle Sponheim, Medieval castle in Burgsponheim, Germany.
Castle Sponheim stands on a hill above the Ellerbach valley, surrounded by forests, meadows, and vineyards in the Bad Kreuznach district.
The castle received its first written mention in 1127 when Count Meginhard of Sponheim signed a document witnessed by a cleric named Bertoldus.
The remaining ring wall and round tower of Castle Sponheim represent architectural elements typical of German defensive structures from the year 1000.
The castle site connects to hiking trails and a cycle path constructed on the former Kreuznach-Winterburg railway line that operated from 1896 to 1936.
Spanish general Spinola destroyed the castle complex in 1620, with detailed accounts of this period preserved in Sebastian Wendell's journal from 1639 to 1646.
