The ruin of Thurant Castle (also Thurandt) stands on a broad spur made of slate high above the village of Alken on the Mosel. It is located in the district of Mayen-Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate) and belongs to the type of spur castles. A special feature are - in addition to the location on the steep valley shoulder - the vineyards on the sunny side.
From the middle of the 13th century, the archbishoprics of Cologne and Trier were joint owners of the plant and managed their respective share of burgraves. Each half therefore had its own keep, its own residential and farm buildings and a separate entrance.

No matter if left or right side of the Moselle or coming from the Hunsrück. The castle always presents itself from its best side.
