Emichsburg, Castle ruin in Bockenheim an der Weinstraße, Germany.

The remains of Emichsburg include a Renaissance portal, sections of buildings, and a ring wall surrounding the church grounds at the edge of Bockenheim.

Count Emich XI transformed the former monastery complex into a Renaissance castle in 1582 after purchasing the former provost office of Wadgassen Monastery.

The Emichsburg name lives on in the local dialect poetry contest, where the Emichsburg Prize recognizes contributions to regional culture and dialect.

The castle grounds now function as the Schloss Janson winery, maintaining a connection to the agricultural heritage of the region.

During construction work in 1906, workers discovered the former crypt of the Counts of Leiningen beneath the St. Martin's Church adjacent to the castle.
