FORTE CULTURA Station: Fortified castles of Dahn (DE)
Fortified castles of Dahn (DE)
The Dahn castles, in the centre of the Palatinate Forest Biosphere Reserve, include the rock castles of Altdahn, Grafendahn, Tanstein and Neudahn Castle, which is around 3 km away.
Underground rock corridors, mysterious chambers and dungeons carved into the red sandstone rock and the magnificent view from the keep make these former knights' castles a marvellous experience to visit.
During the Reformation, two bastion towers were added to Altdahn, while Neudahn was given three-storey battery towers at the gate of the lower castle, which have been preserved to this day.
The castle tavern and the Altdahn Castle Museum, as well as a multilingual audio guide for children and adults, take you back to the past at the castles.
The Dahn castles are among the 11 fortress monuments in the inventory and care of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage Rhineland-Palatinate (GDKE).
