The castle complex has something to offer not only architecturally, but also botanically. This approx. 300-year-old, seven-meter-tall pine tree grows in the middle of the battlement, defying wind and weather on the barren ground. The real hallmark of the ruin!

Already around 1080 a castle "Slirburc" is mentioned - probably an earth and wood fortification. Lindenfels was first mentioned in a document in 1123 together with a Count Bertolfus, who today is seen as the builder of Lindenfels Castle. The names of the lords of the castle were splendid. Konrad von Hohenstaufen, the brother of the legendary emperor "Barbarossa", was the lord of Lindenfels. With the inheritance to Margrave Hermann von Baden, a temporary incorporation into Baden ownership followed until the Wittelsbach Count Palatine Ludwig II bought back the rule in 1277 and thus established the almost 600-year affiliation of Lindenfels to the Electoral Palatinate.

Likewise in the 16th century, but here as a result of military complications. Although Lindenfels Castle was occupied several times by foreign troops (in the 14th and 16th centuries

Construction of the castle began around 1100, probably as a fief of the diocese of Worms or the diocese of Speyer.

The middle castle was probably built around 1165 by Conrad I of Steinach, the youngest son of Bligger II of Steinach, and was half a fief of the diocese of Worms and the other half an allod.
