    Tips

    April 6, 2021

    The Sprengelburg, also called Springeburg, is located on the state road 372 between the villages of Eßweiler and Oberweiler in the valley; the boundary of the district leads exactly through the castle grounds. It is still called the "old castle" today.

    It lies on a promontory running out from the Königsberg; the terrain slopes down steeply to the Talbach flowing past. The builders had built their castle at the narrowest point of the valley, presumably in order to be able to control the road that used to run in the valley from there.

      Small, well restored castle. A little trip here but it is worth it anyway.
