Wilenstein Castle

Wilenstein Castle is one of the oldest fortresses of the Pfalz. As early as the middle of the 12th century there is information concerning the sovereigns of Wilenstein. During the Thirty Years' War the castle was so seriously damaged that it was declared uninhabitable in 1664. In the 1950s extensive restoration and conservation work was performed. The upper castle, whose reconstruction work is often considered inappropriate, now serves as school vacation centre.
