Altleiningen Castle
Altleiningen, Germany, Germany
Altleiningen Castle (Burg Altleiningen) is a medieval hill fortress on a 400-meter hill above Altleiningen village in Germany's Bad Dürkheim district, Rhineland-Palatinate, built around 1100-1110 by Count Emich I and his son Emich II of Leiningen as their ancestral seat.
The triangular plan follows the hilltop with rock-hewn ditches, moats, drawbridge, and Renaissance rebuilding from 1528 featuring 365 windows symbolizing a year's days, plus a 1600 rock gallery forming the 20-Pipe Well supplying the Eckbach.
Destroyed by French troops in 1690 during the War of the Palatine Succession and quarried until Bavaria's 19th-century ban, it now houses a youth hostel ideal for seminars amid Leiningerland's historic landscape.
