Veldenz Castle, Medieval castle in Nohfelden, Germany
Located on a strategic hilltop, Veldenz Castle extends 100 meters in length with preserved surrounding walls and a 21-meter-high stone keep without its roof.
First documented in 1285, Count William Bossel II of Stein constructed the castle under an agreement allowing the Count of Veldenz usage during wartime.
The castle basement, measuring 30 meters by 12 meters, opened to visitors in 1971, presenting medieval architectural elements and regional defensive structures.
The municipality of Nohfelden manages guided tower tours from April through October, available through advance arrangements at the local tourist office.
In 1490, Duke Alexander imprisoned his brother Kaspar in the castle under claims of insanity, where Kaspar remained until his death in 1527.
