FORTE CULTURA Station: Fortified Castle Reichsburg Trifels (DE)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Fortified castle Reichsburg Trifels (DE)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trifels Castle, the most secure castle in the empire, rises above the Palatinate Forest, visible from afar. It was once fortified to protect the imperial regalia deposited here (crown, sceptre and orb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also a state prison for prominent inmates. The most famous was probably King Richard I of England, alias \"Richard the Lionheart\", who was held here under Hohenstaufen Emperor Henry VI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ruins since the 16th century and rebuilt in the first half of the 20th century, the Trifels is now home to the permanent exhibition \"Power and Myth\" and is the backdrop for spectacular theatre tours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
