Dalberg Castle, also called Dalburg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the valley of the Gräfenbach, which flows into the Nahe via the Ellerbach near Bad Kreuznach. Godebold von Weyersbach built the Dalburg in 1150. The original family that built it died out in the 14th century. Johann Kämmerer von Worms took over the inheritance. Even today, the Dalberg coat of arms still features both the anchor cross of the Dalberg family and the lilies of the Kämmerer von Worms. The castle was never destroyed by war. In the 19th century, it was used as a quarry and fell into ruin.

It's worth a visit here, an association is trying to maintain it and you can see that. Wonderful castle that I like very much

Great castle ruins in a very good state of restoration. At the foot of the castle ruins there is a generously covered area with tables and benches to rest with a great view of the castle.
