Burg Lantershofen, Medieval castle in Lantershofen, Germany

The castle features a two-story main building with a mansard roof and a turret, positioned next to the church on Graf-Blankard-Strasse.

Built in 1376, the castle experienced multiple changes in ownership, including Gerhard Blanckart von Ahrweiler in 1485 and Graf von Wickenburg by 1800.

The structure represents architectural elements from the late medieval period and underwent significant modifications during the 17th and early 18th centuries.

The castle underwent extensive renovation between 2002 and 2003, resulting in the construction of the current main building visible today.

The castle stands on foundations that may contain Roman wall remains, marking one of the earliest Frankish settlements on the left bank of the Ahr river.
