Treis Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Treis-Karden, Germany
The castle ruins stand on a mountain spur at 157 meters above sea level, flanked by the Flaumbach and Dünnbach streams from the Hunsrück mountains.
Emperor Henry V destroyed the original structure in 1121, which belonged to Count Otto I of Salm, leading to its reconstruction and control by the diocese of Trier.
The castle represents the medieval power structure of the region, serving as a stronghold for various noble houses including the Lords of Pyrmont and Eltz.
The square keep of the castle has undergone restoration work since the 1950s, with portions of the curtain wall and additional buildings remaining visible.
French troops destroyed the castle during the Palatine succession war in 1689, after which it remained in ruins, preserved as a cultural heritage monument.
