Kronenburg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Dahlem, Germany.

Kronenburg Castle stands on a prominent rocky outcrop in the Upper Kyll Valley, featuring remaining walls that demonstrate medieval defensive architecture.

The castle, first documented in 1277 through a charter of Abbey Stablo Malmedy, served as a stronghold for the Lords of Kronenburg until 1795.

The castle ruins and surrounding fortified settlement form an architectural ensemble that represents the medieval building traditions of the Eifel region.

Visitors can access the castle ruins daily between April 8th and October 30th, with the site remaining open from midnight to midnight.

The castle grounds provide views of the Eifel National Park, where the absence of light pollution allows clear visibility of the Milky Way.
