ハーンヴァイラーの洞窟・トップ12

この遺跡は、特に村全体で注目を集める際立った塔が1基まだ立っているため、特別なものだと感じました。

The castle ruins are located in the center of Nohfelden, with a beautiful castle courtyard and an elevator up to the castle ruins.

🎶 Tithe Barn & Musicians' Land Museum – A Sound of History The unique Palatinate Musicians' Land Museum is located in the historic tithe barn of Lichtenberg Castle. It impressively tells the story of the itinerant musicians who once traveled from here to all over the world. Tip: The exhibition combines a sense of home with a musical journey around the world – absolutely worth seeing!

Birkenfeld Castle was first documented in 1293 as a Sponheim property. At the end of the 16th century, Duke Charles expanded it into a princely palace in the Renaissance style. Count Palatine Charles founded the Wittelsbach branch of the Dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld, who became Electors of Bavaria in 1799 (and Kings from 1806). With the French invasion, the castle was declared French national property and auctioned in Trier in 1807. The complex could no longer be maintained by private hands and thus fell into disrepair. Parts of the outer walls and tower stumps, one of which was converted into an observation tower, as well as the former guesthouse with the gatehouse of the castle entrance, remain.

The tithe barn, built around 1738, was used to store the farmers' contributions in kind, which were to be paid as taxes or "Zent" (the tenth part). The size of the building shows the large amounts of taxes that the farmers had to pay. A major fire in 1799 completely destroyed this building. It was rebuilt as a museum between 1979 and 1982. The much-visited Musikantenlandmuseum has found its home here.

A very nice photo opportunity

Beautiful castle ruins, there is a beautiful view from the watchtower.

Interesting castle. In the immediate vicinity is also a butcher's shop/inn and the Bruunen for resting.
