Castillo de Simmern, Medieval château in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

The castle structure features stone walls with Baroque architectural elements, incorporating both medieval fortification designs and 18th-century refinements.

Built in 1311, the castle underwent substantial renovations in 1708, transforming its original medieval design into a more refined Baroque architectural style.

The castle houses the Local History Museum, Historical Library, and City Library, with an exhibition space dedicated to sculptor Friedrich Karl Ströher.

Visitors can access the castle through guided tours, exploring multiple floors containing historical collections and cultural exhibitions throughout the year.

The castle's tower, formerly used as a prison, now serves as the central location for the annual Schinderhannes Festival in summer.
