Neuleiningen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruin Neuleiningen occupies a special position among the Palatine castles, as it was probably built due to influences from the Crusades or at least Western European models. Diving into the 16th century is also possible in Burgschänke. Wildly romantic!

Altleiningen Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

It's fascinating how a modern youth hostel has been integrated into this ruin. From below you would expect a completely dilapidated ruin. The large outdoor pool directly in front of it is not an eye-catcher, but it certainly makes the castle even more interesting as a hostel for children and young people.

Neuleiningen Historic Village

Highlight • Settlement

Neuleiningen is a nearly 800 years old castle village with about 900 inhabitants. The castle, visible from afar, was built in the first half of the 13th century. The story is quite interesting, see neuleiningen.de, and strolling in the streets is also fun 😀
