Castle Berwartstein stands high on a huge red rock in the South Pfalz of southwestern Germany. In earliest times, the only way up this rock was through a hole passing up from its base, which was entered by passing down a ladder or rope. This could be easily defended by a single person with hot pitch or tar. It is generally accepted that this uncommonly safe place had already been used as a refuge and protection for a long time before the castle was built. The earliest existing written mention of Berwartstein comes from the year 1150, but the village of Erlenbach (which is at the base of the castle mount) is mentioned from around 740.

  • I am pretty sure I visited Berwartstein Castle in Germany when I went through a welcome to Germany class for the army. They had our class visit. The things I remember is the deep well (someone dropped a coin, took over 10 seconds to hit bottom huge splash!), the long tunnel to the dungeon, a chastity belt, and the story of the lady ghost (looking for her child I believe). If this happened on the tour then it is the same castle.

  • Cool Video, i am living here near this castle!!! Nice to see!!!

  • I know it I couldn't imagine living there What a experience that is filled with history but then I think I would hate to have to clean it Tons of hugs ♥Mel®

  • Wow! Wouldn't you love a house like that?? Brilliant vid Mel!
