Oberburg, Kobern, Medieval castle ruins in Kobern-Gondorf, Germany
The Oberburg stands 200 meters above Kobern-Gondorf on a ridge, featuring a Late Romanesque chapel and a square bergfried measuring 9 meters on each side.
Built in the early 12th century on a Celtic hillfort site, the castle became a fiefdom of the Electorate of Trier in 1195 under documented records.
Saint Matthias Chapel, commissioned by Lord Henry II of Isenburg around 1220, housed the head of Saint Matthias within the castle complex.
The castle grounds remain open year-round without entrance fees, with a restaurant operating inside the bergfried and a parking area below the structure.
A tunnel was constructed through the Oberburg foundation in 1971 to accommodate modern traffic while maintaining the historical structure above.
