Reuland Castle is one of the largest castle ruins in the Eifel. The ruins of the Höhenburg are located in Burg-Reuland in the German-speaking part of East Belgium. A spiral staircase leads to the tower of the castle and has a great view over the castle and the town. A castle festival is held there every year on the second weekend in July.

The castle of Reuland (built in the 12th century) was a huge structure until the 18th century. Today's ruin complex still has a size of 55 m by 65 m. In addition to the actual fortified castle, it also had a castle ring and a moat with a protective wall on two sides. Until the beginning of the 14th century it served as the seat of the noble family of Reuland. Source: ostbelgien.eu/de/fiche/castle/burg-reuland
The castle, built by the Franks as a royal castle on the remains of a Roman fort, was destroyed and rebuilt several times in its checkered history. Since 1920, Reuland Castle has belonged to the Belgian state. Source: eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/burg_reuland.html

Apparently an insider tip ... we were all alone on the site and even had access to the tower. Lt. Free entry sign. Really great!
