Manderscheid Upper Castle
Manderscheid, Germany, Germany
Manderscheid Upper Castle (Oberburg) is the older of two medieval sister fortresses overlooking Manderscheid town in Germany's Eifel region, Rhineland-Palatinate, first mentioned around 1140 on a rocky outcrop above the Lieser Valley.
Built as a Trier Electorate stronghold amid territorial disputes with Luxembourg's Manderscheid lords—who occupied the opposing Lower Castle (Niederburg) from 1170—it featured thick walls and a five-story keep until destruction in 1673 during conflicts.
Freely accessible today, the ruins offer stunning panoramic views, hiking trails, and events like knight tournaments, complementing the area's volcanic landscape heritage.
