Burg Wachenheim, Medieval castle in Wachenheim, Germany.

The castle features a Gothic keep from 1470, rising prominently above Wachenheim with its defensive walls enclosing multiple historical buildings.

The first documented mention of the castle dates to 1324 when Knight Dietz von Wachenheim transferred feudal rights to Count Palatine Adolf.

The castle grounds include a late Baroque Rococo park that functions as a sculpture garden, combining architectural and artistic elements.

The castle complex currently operates as a winery and hosts private celebrations along with occasional public events throughout the year.

Located at 160 meters above sea level, the castle maintains its original medieval core structure despite numerous ownership changes through centuries.
