Reuland Castle is one of the largest castle ruins in the Eifel region. The ruins of this hilltop castle are located in the village of Burg-Reuland in the German-speaking part of East Belgium. A spiral staircase leads to the castle tower, offering a fantastic view of the castle grounds and the village. An annual castle festival takes place there on the second weekend of July.

Archaeological research showed that the castle square was already in use in the 10th century. The Romans had already built a permanent fort where only the castle ruins still stand today. The oldest discovered foundations date back to the 12th century, when the castle was used as a residence for the noble family "von Rulant". In the 13th century there was a castle ring, which was surrounded by a moat. A tower already existed in the northwest corner. In the 14th century the Bering was rebuilt and the keep was built.
