Hohenfels Castle, Medieval castle in Kalkofen, Germany.
The castle stands on a forested hill ridge one kilometer north of Hohenfels village, featuring architectural elements of both hill and spur fortifications.
The structure, first documented in 1292 as Neuhohenfels, served as the family seat for the Neu-Hohenfels branch during the 12th century medieval period.
From 1506 to 1806, the Teutonic Order controlled the Barony of Hohenfels, influencing regional governance and social structures for three centuries.
The castle site requires sturdy hiking shoes for access, with visits limited to 30 people per group and guides speaking German, English, and French.
Following its sale in 2018, the castle transformed from a School of Schloss Salem facility into a modern convention center while maintaining its medieval structure.
