Burg Meistersel, Rock castle near Ramberg, Germany
The fortress stands on a 492-meter hill above the Modenbach valley, featuring remaining sections of medieval curtain walls and defensive structures.
Construction of Meistersel Castle began in the 11th century during the Salian period, making it one of the oldest castles in the Palatinate region.
The castle name combines the German words Meister and Saal, reflecting its possible function as a residence for imperial chamberlains of Trifels Castle.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by parking at Drei Buchen and walking 600 meters along a marked forest path through the Palatinate Forest.
Bronze Age artifacts discovered at the site indicate human settlement long before the medieval castle construction began in 1000 CE.
