Lindelbrunn Castle, Medieval rock castle in Vorderweidenthal, Germany
The castle stands at an elevation of 438 meters on sandstone cliffs, featuring remaining walls, a palas structure, and chapel foundations.
Constructed around 1150 as an imperial fortress to protect Trifels Castle, Lindelbrunn received its first documented mention through ministerialis Dieter von Lindelbol in 1268.
The castle's remains showcase medieval German architectural elements, including carved stone stairs, water cisterns, and defensive wall structures from the 12th century.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 20-minute walk from the forester's lodge, with paths leading through the surrounding Palatinate Forest.
The name Lindelbrunn stems from a tale of an old woman who planted a lime tree, declaring the castle would prosper while the tree lived.
