Falkenstein Castle is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle (Reichsburg) above the village of the same name Falkenstein on Donnersberg in Rhineland-Palatinate, the highest elevation in the Palatinate. A first mention from 1135 refers to Sigbold von Falkenstein and not to the castle. He belonged to a family that probably belonged to the Imperial Ministry and died out at the beginning of the 13th century. There was probably a family connection with the Lords of Bolanden. In 1233, after a division of the family property, Philipp von Bolanden called himself "von Falkenstein" and thus founded this Bolander line. After the Imperial Chamberlain of Münzenberg died out, Philip I became Imperial Chamberlain and in 1255 he inherited the bailiwick in the Wetterau. Lich later became the center of the domain of Philip I of Falkenstein. In the middle of the 14th century, the Falkensteiners built Neufalkenstein Castle in the Taunus. Around 1500, Uhland I took over the castle rights and further expanded the castle. The descendants of Uhland I acquired Bertholdstein Castle near the town of Fehring in Styria (Austria) and subsequently settled there. In 1647 Falkenstein was besieged, stormed and razed by the French. In 1736, Falkenstein Castle and the County of Falkenstein came to the Imperial House of Habsburg. In 1794 it was destroyed again by the French during the coalition wars. Since then, Falkenstein Castle has been a ruin and was partially restored from 1979 onwards. (Source: Wikipedia) You have a beautiful view from the castle as well as the castle from all sides. It's also nice that you can explore and walk around it completely.

history Nothing is known about the exact period when the castle was built. The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1276 when the complex passed to his daughter Lukardis after the death of Philip V von Bolanden. Thereafter, further mentions were always made in connection with a change of ownership, so the castle came into the possession of King Albrecht von Habsburg between 1304 and 1308 through an exchange for the Gleichen Castle, in 1321 King Friedrich the Handsome locum Wildenstein enfeoffed to Count Philipp von Sponheim- Dannenfels and finally in 1328 she became an afterfief of the Counts of Leiningen. Presumably it was destroyed in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648). In 1657 the castle was already described as a ruin. In 1938 the ruin was owned by the municipality of Albisheim. Excavations took place in 1963, during which crossbow bolts, arrow and spearheads as well as a Romanesque key were found. Today the castle is located in the Dannenfels district.

Very pretty castle ruins that were built on a volcanic vent. It is freely accessible, even now during C times. If you come out of the forest below at the bell tower / cemetery, you have a great view of the castle, but then you have to take a steep road up to the ruin (25%), it is practically in the middle of the village. There is also a castle tavern, currently only to-go, of course. In the castle there are also some nice seating areas for a rest.

There is a very beautiful panorama when you come out of the forest. The castle can be seen on the right and a bell tower on the left. If you want to go up to the ruin, you have to go up a steep road (25%), the ruin is practically in the middle of town. Admission is free and the visit was also possible now, during C-times. There is also a "Burgschänke" with (currently) food to go.

The Burgstupp is currently closed due to Covid 19. A little further up is a restaurant that is open. Admission only with a valid Covid test. The view from the castle is really nice. You can also hike a bit in the adjacent forest area. A car parking space is also available.

The remains of the wall are clearly visible, including a part of the castle wall (?) On which you can inspect the ruins. The former well is covered with a grille to be on the safe side and there is a great view from the plateau facing the valley. There is more to see than many other ruins.

A wonderfully secluded little village with lots of treasures. Lots of forest, quiet (at least during the week) and pure relaxation.
