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.

In the Middle Ages, the towns of Weiersbach and Hoppstädten, together with Leitzweiler, Heimbach and Freisen, belonged to the Werdenstein lordship. In the 16th century, a branch of the Lords of Oberstein first called themselves "Lords of Werdenstein" after the lordship. Jakob von Eberstein married the daughter who was entitled to inherit and built the castle of the same name, "Werdenstein", around 1550. It was located between the two towns and was completely demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. (Source: Wikipedia)

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.
