Schloss Hohenfels, Heritage fortress in Bavaria, Germany
The castle stands on top of a steep elevation at 545 meters, constructed with rusticated ashlar stones in the Beutelfels Nature Reserve.
Built around 1200, the fortress belonged to Philip III of Bolanden-Hohenfels until 1277, when he served as imperial chamberlain of the region.
Archaeological findings near the castle include Roman coins from 1820, suggesting a Roman fortification existed at this location during the Late Empire.
Visitors can reach the castle through a steep footpath from the Weiße Grube mine, passing the Iron Man monument in the Langental valley.
The Bohland Fief Books document the castle's ownership by Prüm Abbey, with Werner and Philip of Bolanden recorded as early tenants.
