Burg Layen, Medieval castle in Rümmelsheim, Germany
Burg Layen stands on a rocky elevation in the Trollbach valley, featuring a round Romanesque keep and sections of the original ring wall.
Built before 1200 and first documented as Veste Laiga, the castle changed ownership from the Lords of Bolanden to various noble families until 1796.
The castle functions as Weingut Schlossgut Diel, maintaining an 800-year tradition of wine production in the Nahe River region.
The castle grounds include hiking trails through surrounding vineyards, offering direct views of the Rümmelsheim wine country.
The castle cellar, dating back 800 years, remains under separate ownership from the main structure, belonging to the Höfer family.
