Luechtenberg Castle

11/11/2015

     I am always searching high and low for a nearby castle to visit. Upon researching for hours for a list I discovered Leuchtenberg. It was only located about 40 minutes from Grafenwoehr. I learned that they do a medieval festival there annually. I really wish we had gone during the festival but we had already missed it by the time I found an address for the castle. The castle was built by the Landgrave’s, an influential noble family during the 1300’s. They were a ruling dynasty in the Middle Ages in Bavaria, but they left the castle in 1322 and now it is used as a venue.

     The first time we visited the castle it was an overcast day. We drove into the town and immediately saw the castle right in the center of the town. When we arrived a wedding was in session so we had to leave. It seemed that we weren’t the only people that showed up that day expecting to visit the castle. There were about 15 other people that were hanging about trying to get tickets. We went back the following week on Halloween morning and the weather was even better and the temperature just right.

 They had a small booth right before entering the castle where you could purchase cards, pins, and your tickets. Although this time we had left June, I thought it was interesting that they charged at this castle to bring your dog. I had never seen that before. We bought a pendant and our tickets upon exiting since when we arrived there was nobody to be found. The castle had a small museum with information about the castle’s history and the previous owners. Spread about the castle we found a variety of torture devices that made me cringe just thinking about how awful it would have been to be put in them. When searching online I read about how the castle stands on a 585 meter high mountain, but I wasn’t expecting the striking autumn foliage view the hill had to offer of the valley. The castle is definitely  worth the visit if you are in the area, even if just for the views it has to offer.

The fall foliage looks like the perfect backdrop for this castle! I'm much further west, but two of my favorite castles are Reichsburg Cochem in the Mosel Valley and Rheinfels along the Rhein in St. Goar. Reichsburg Cochem is nicely furnished and also has a medieval festival some time during the year; and Rheinfels is a huge ruin with towers and underground passages you can explore by yourself.
