Wasgau, Germany

There is only speculation about the year of construction of the castle and its name.
The name "Berwartstein Castle" is mentioned for the first time in a document dating from 1152,
when the castle was given by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa to Bishop Günther of Speyer.
In the 13th Century it was occupied by robber barons.
