칸델‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 동굴

오늘날에는 '사과나무'를 뜻하는 중세 고지 독일어 'Affalter'에서 유래한 'Affelderle'라는 이름을 가진 건물에 대해 많이 알려져 있지 않습니다. 이곳은 더 이상 볼 것이 많지 않고 확실하게 말할 수 있는 것이 많지 않은 '사라진 성', '로스트 플레이스'입니다. 한때 이 성은 '슈트라이트슈타인' 또는 '슈트라이트베르크 성'(1574년에 언급됨)이라고도 불렸으며, 아마도 9세기에 바이센부르크 수도원에서 라인강 횡단 지점인 포르츠(막시밀리안사우) - 니엘링겐을 방어하고 노르만족과 헝가리인의 습격으로부터 보호하기 위해 지어졌을 것입니다. 이 성은 원래 나무와 흙으로만 지어졌으며, 11세기 또는 12세기에 이르러서야 돌로 지어졌다고 합니다. 이는 강력한 환형 성벽과 방어 해자를 가로지르는 도개교가 있는 언덕 요새였습니다. 이러한 종류의 요새는 프랑스에서 '모트'('흙덩이', '더미')라고 불리는 것으로 알려져 있습니다. 주로 나무로 지어진 초기 중세 시대의 요새 유형으로, 주요 특징은 인공적으로 만들어진 흙 언덕 위에 주로 탑 모양의 건물이 있다는 것입니다.

A very nice tour through the beautiful Palatinate landscape with its vineyards, small villages and many opportunities to stop and linger.

impressive gate system

According to Rheinpfalz, the castle tavern is currently not open.

In the Peasants' War of 1525, the castle in Bergzabern, which was first mentioned in 1333, was plundered and burned down. In the years up to 1532, the destroyed castle was rebuilt as a fortified palace on the same site. The south building was built first, founded on oak piles because of the swampy ground: called the Ludwigsbau after its builder, Ludwig the Black of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The two round towers in the west and east served to house cannons, and the living and utility rooms were on the two upper floors. The complex was protected by a moat; a connection to the city wall is likely, but cannot be reconstructed today. The Wolfgangsbau was built between 1561 and 1579, a three-wing extension that adjoined the Ludwigsbau to the north. Begun under Duke Wolfgang, the Wolfgangsbau was completed under his son Johann I. The outstanding architectural feature is the giant gate in the Renaissance style. The castle was plundered during the Thirty Years' War. On February 20, 1676, French raiding parties from the Philippsburg fortress burned down the castle and destroyed parts of the town. In 1704, the building had no roof, and the cellars under the Ludwigsbau and the east wing of the Wolfgangsbau were used primarily. From 1720 to 1725, the castle was rebuilt under the direction of the Swedish-Zweibrücken chief building director Jonas Ericson Sundahl and inventory for the living quarters was purchased. In 1728, the castle was habitable again. A high point in the history of the town and castle of Bergzabern was the years 1744 to 1774, when the widow of Christian III, Duchess Caroline of Palatinate-Zweibrücken, had her widow's residence in the castle. The castle suffered damage during the French Revolution as a symbol of the defeat of feudal rule. It was confiscated as national property and subsequently sold on to private individuals in sections. In 1909, the castle burned down completely. The roof structure and interior furnishings in particular were destroyed. Damage occurred again in the Second World War, especially to the giant gate. The building was completely renovated in 1982-1984, and the Bad Bergzabern municipality moved its administrative offices into the castle. Source: https://www.vg-bad-bergzabern.de/slider/schloss/

It's hard to believe that this was once a castle with a moat and defensive walls. Definitely a gem in this city.

The 'Tour des Bouchers' - Butcher's Tower is one of the 15 towers that were built at the end of the 13th century as part of a fortress wall. The tower is called the "Butcher's Tower" because the butcher's guild was responsible for it. When the fortress was demolished in 1706, the Butcher's Tower remained with a few other towers. The tower was used as a prison until the middle of the 18th century. In 2017-2020, the exterior of the Butcher's Tower was restored. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metzgerturm_(Lauterbourg)
