The ruins of Ramstein Castle stand on a 182 meter high red sandstone rock on the edge of the Meulenwald in the lower Kylltal near Kordel in Rhineland-Palatinate and are therefore of the hilltop castle type.
Built at the beginning of the 14th century by the Archbishop of Trier, Diether von Nassau, as the successor to a fortified estate, it was from then on an electoral Trier feudal castle, which was awarded to electoral subjects and cathedral deans. During the Palatinate War of Succession, the complex was occupied by French soldiers and blown up in 1689. There was no reconstruction. The successor building to the former courtyard house of the castle is now used as a hotel restaurant.
