Burg Pfalzel, Medieval castle in Pfalzel, Germany
The castle features a rectangular four-story gate tower with pointed arch entrances and measures approximately 64 by 35.5 meters in total area.
Archbishop Albero of Trier constructed the castle in the 12th century, establishing it as a residence for the Archbishops above the southern wing of Roman Palatiolum.
The castle's architectural elements, including its walls, residential buildings, and bastions, represent the military construction techniques of medieval German fortifications.
Visitors can reach the castle site via Bundesstrasse 53 road or public transportation from Trier, with certain areas remaining accessible for exploration.
The castle withstood a 39-day siege during the War of the Succession of Landshut in 1504, demonstrating the effectiveness of its defensive capabilities.
