FORTE CULTURA Station: Fortified Landeck Castle, Palatinate (DE)
Fortified Landeck Castle, Palatinate (DE)
To the south-west of Landau, near Klingenmünster, lie the ruins of Landeck Castle on the foothills of the Teufelsberg. Even the approach via the restored bridge is impressive and offers a beautiful view.
The former residential castle was constantly reinforced over the centuries and eventually developed into a fortified castle. At the end of the 17th century, like almost all fortified monuments in the region, it was destroyed by the French.
Today, you can celebrate hearty feasts at Landeck Castle in the castle tavern, which is open all year round, or take part in the numerous medieval festivals, concerts, church services and castle plays.
The Landeck castle ruins are one of the 11 fortress monuments in the inventory and care of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage Rhineland-Palatinate (GDKE).
