Lützelhardt Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Seelbach, Germany
The castle stands on a sandstone outcrop with remaining features including a square keep, eastern residence sections, and rock-cut cellars in the lower courtyard.
Built by the Lutzelhardt family in 1250, the castle served as a strategic control point between the territories of the Dukes of Lorraine and Hohenstaufens.
The castle structure integrates natural rock formations into its design, displaying medieval engineering techniques through its semi-troglodyte construction methods.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked trail signs from a designated parking area, requiring a 20-minute walk to the site.
The northern wall maintains its ground floor height while two large cellars carved directly into the rock demonstrate medieval stone masonry techniques.
