    The castle ruin Sommerau, also called Schloss Sommerau, is the ruin of a spur castle on a rocky ridge above the Ruwer at about 322 m above sea level above the community of Sommerau in the district of Trier-Saarburg in Rhineland-Palatinate.

    The cycle path along the Ruwer from the high forest in Hermeskeil to the confluence with the Moselle is a real cycling highlight.

    Sommerau Castle was built on a 45 m long rock spur around which the Ruwer rivers flow on three sides. The remains of the former palace at a height of up to 10 m have been preserved in the west, while the four-storey four-story keep is still 16 m high in the east. Only remnants of the rising masonry have been preserved from the surrounding wall.
