The Kasselburg is the ruin of a hilltop castle on a 490-meter-high basalt rock in Pelm near Gerolstein in the Vulkaneifel district of Rhineland-Palatinate. See: http://www.adler-wolfspark.de/

In 1670 the castle was badly damaged by a lightning strike in the Powder Tower. It was occupied by the French on July 6, 1691, but was recaptured on August 5 of the same year. Gerolstein is destroyed in the process. In 1840 the castle was also known as Jungkernburg. The remaining remnants of the wall were partially demolished in the 18th century and further destroyed in the Second World War. Today only a few remains remain, but they have been restored. Excerpt from Wikipedia

The complex consists of the privately inhabited front castle and the ruins of the main castle behind it, accessible via a wooden bridge, from which there is a good view of Gerolstein and the rocks of the Munterlay.

A very beautiful castle above a great little town. Restorations are already well advanced. Definitely worth a visit

A beautiful ruin with an interesting past, which unfortunately has been demolished for building material.

Even if the castle cannot be visited because it is privately owned, its location high above the village of Kerpen is very impressive and gives the beautiful village a certain charm. Kerpen Castle is a so-called spur castle, which lies on a rock or mountain spur, but below the hilltop or the mountain peak, unlike the summit castle, and thus steeply above the valley. It is characterized by a terrain formation that slopes steeply on at least two sides. The place is practically at the feet of the castle. The former owner and famous Eifel painter Fritz von Wille was buried on a hill behind the castle in 1941. For a long time afterwards, it served first as a training center and finally as a rural school center; from 2016 to 2018, refugees were accommodated here. The castle currently belongs to an entrepreneurial family from Bonn and has since been used only for private residential purposes.
