Tannenfels Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Dannenfels, Germany
The stone remains of Tannenfels Castle stand at 460 meters above sea level, featuring preserved sections of walls and a tower structure.
The castle construction began in 1300 as part of the Barony of Kirchheim, owned by the lords of Bolanden before passing to the counts of Sponheim.
A chapel dedicated to Saint Mary received its benefice from Archbishop Gerlach of Mainz in 1354, marking the religious significance of the fortress.
The castle ruins are accessible through hiking paths, allowing visitors to examine the remaining tower, supporting wall, and medieval well structures.
Peasants completely destroyed the castle during the Palatine Peasants' War of 1525, leading to its permanent state of ruins.
