First documented in 1127.
The castle is distinguished by its exceptionally high-quality residential tower keep, which – a rarity among keeps – is fully equipped for living, with a fireplace, elaborate windows, and a toilet. Almost all of it is still very well preserved.
Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit.

Unfortunately, the magnificent castle keep is also closed.
Built approximately 1,000 years ago by the Counts of Sponheim.

Founded around 1000 and first documented in 1127, almost nothing remains of the ancestral seat of the Counts of Sponheim, apart from the 22-meter-high keep from the 13th century, after the castle was destroyed by Spanish troops in 1620.
