Trutzeltz Castle
Germany, Germany
Trutzeltz Castle is a small medieval ruin in the Elz Valley near Wierschem, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, built around 1331 by Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg as a siege fortress during the Eltz Feud to counter the nearby, defiant Eltz Castle.
Measuring just 30 by 25 meters on a hillside with over 10-meter-high tower house remnants and foundation walls made from local broken stone for rapid construction, it quickly lost strategic value after the 1336/1337 feud resolution, becoming derelict by 1453.
Today, its atmospheric remains offer hikers a glimpse into 14th-century military tactics amid the scenic Moselle region's forested hills, though steep terrain limits access.
