Randeck Castle

Mannweiler-Cölln, Germany, Germany

Randeck Castle is a ruined medieval hill castle on Schlossberg hill near Mannweiler-Cölln in Germany's Donnersbergkreis district, Rhineland-Palatinate, serving as the ancestral seat of the lords of Randeck.

Likely constructed in the 12th century and first documented in 1202 with Henry of Randeck, a probable grandson of Ulrich of Wartenberg, it passed through family lines including Godfrey I, Dietrich, and George of Randeck before imperial loans to figures like Teutonic knight Hans Ludwig von Lewenstein in 1649.

Stormed and blown up by French forces in 1690 during the War of the Palatine Succession, partial rebuilding occurred, but by 1844 it was dismantled for materials; today owned by the local cultural society, remnants include the enceinte, corner outwork, flanking towers, and bergfried foundations.
