The former Count's Castle Veldenz was the largest castle on the Middle Moselle until it was destroyed in 1681 by the troops of the French King Louis XIV. The castle was probably built before 1130 by a knight named Emicho, from the Nahegau count family, and his son Gerlach, who also called himself "Count of Veldenz" from 1130. The castle itself was first mentioned in a document from 1156: Friedrich Barbarossa confirms here Bishop Albert I of Verdun the possession of Veldenz Castle with a bailiwick and ban.The castle ruins were sold in 1807 as part of the French national property auction to a merchant Nießen from Mülheim, who then also protected the ruins from further decay and exploitation as a quarry The castle ruins later became the property of the Richter family, a winery from Mülheim. In 1896, they had the walls of the main building covered by a roof truss. Today the castle is owned by the Haufs-Brusberg family, who have carried out further extensive security measures in recent years. The knight's hall is renovated and historically furnished. Castle festivals are celebrated here and historical tours are organized at the castle. Source: text information board
