Kondertal castle ruins

It was not until 2005 that the ruins of the castle, which one usually walks past without noticing, were scientifically examined. The square residential tower is easy to recognize from its foundation walls, and the moat that cuts through the ridge is actually impossible to miss and has already been photographed by many. The complex is similar to Treis Castle, which was also built on the Moselle.In the north-west of the castle complex there was a building of larger dimensions, which was probably the main building. It lay on a natural rock plateau and formed part of the enclosure. This building was already visible from afar, which is why it must have had a representative character. The three other buildings were probably a kitchen, a smithy and a smaller house.
The castle did not have a well and the water and all other essentials had to be carried up a narrow path.Source: kola.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor/deliver/index/docId/212/file/GML.pdf
