    Sporkenburg Castle sits enthroned on a high mountain that was protected to the west and south by the Teilebach valley and to the east by the Emsbach valley. At the end of the 13th century, a pentagonal core castle was built on the steep mountain summit, which was later expanded to include an outer castle. In 1635 it was finally destroyed by the French. Impressive and very imposing remains, such as the 16 m high and 2.5 m thick shield wall, have been preserved. You can still see outgoing building floors and numerous loopholes. The impressive complex is largely unknown and invites you to explore and linger with its tranquility. Worth it.
