the entrance of our local castle.

Castle Lichtenberg is one of the largest (in diameter) Castle Ruins in Germany and approx.
15 Miles away from where we live. It was never captured during the many wars since built,
but was burned down about 200 years ago. It was constructed in 1200 by the Counts of Veldenz.
Some areas are now used as a Museum, Restaurant, and Hostel. It is also used as a County Marriage Office.
