Burg Neidenfels, Medieval castle in Neidenfels, Germany

The stone ruins of Burg Neidenfels stand on a hill within the Palatinate Forest, incorporating elements of medieval defensive architecture.

Count Palatine Rudolf II ordered the construction of Burg Neidenfels around 1330, establishing it as a strategic fortification in the Rhine Valley.

The castle remains serve as an educational site where visitors learn about medieval construction techniques and regional defensive structures.

The castle site connects to multiple hiking trails in the Palatinate Forest and is accessible via the RheinNeckar S-Bahn transportation network.

The castle's gable stone architecture reflects the influence of the noble Steinhausen von Neidenstein family, who left their mark on local heritage.
