Burg Reichenberg

Reichenberg, Germany

Reichenberg Castle is one of the most unusual castle complexes in Rhineland Palatinate.
Built in the early 14th century by Count Wilhelm von Katzenelnbogen and his son Wilhelm II.
It had for that time, unusually high flanking towers (the northern one only collapsed around 40 years ago).
Preserved to this day, the hall with its ceiling resting on cubiform capitals testifies to
the high representative value of the complex.
The ruin is in private ownership and can be visited from the outside only.
