Starkenburg, Medieval castle ruin near Mosel River, Germany
The castle ruins spread across a narrow rocky plateau measuring 125 meters in length and 17 meters in width between the Mosel River and Ahringsbach.
The Counts of Sponheim established residence at Starkenburg in 1190 while serving as vassals under the Archbishop of Trier's authority.
The castle remains include defensive walls, multiple towers, and residential buildings that demonstrate medieval German architectural and military engineering methods.
Visitors can download the ARGO application to experience digital reconstructions of the castle's original structure while walking through the ruins.
In 1328, Countess Loretta demonstrated her power by detaining Bishop Baldwin of Trier within the castle walls during negotiations.
