Merburg Castle Ruins on the Malafelsen

Ruin of a small castle. One can well imagine how this castle (see drawing) once looked. The Merburg is located in the immediate vicinity of the fish pond and the fisherman's hut

The Merburg is always worth a visit and the nearby fishing hut invites you to rest.

This valley castle lies just 12 meters above the water level of the Lambsbach on a sandstone block, the Malafel. It is one of the smallest castles in the Saarland and was restored in its historic form between 1975 and 1980. Based on excavation finds, it is assumed that a refuge castle already existed in the 10th century and that a solid one-story house took over the protection of an important road to Landstuhl in the 11th century. Not much is left of the former keep. The remains of the wall of the former tower and the castle wall, which have been restored, are clearly visible. Certainly no longer the magnificent building today, but definitely worth a Sunday excursion due to its enchanted valley location, especially since there is a small fish pond, the Merwoog, with the associated fisherman's hut in the immediate vicinity.
