One of the interesting historical places of Palatinate is Burg Triefels.

The first document referred to this castle was present certificate of the year 1081.

The interesting fact of the history of this castle is that in 1193-1194 Richard the Lionheart, the King of England was here as prisoner.

Unfortunately the castle was much damaged during the time and all what you can see now is the “new building”. It was rebuilt in 1935-1938, but the design of the castle was not recovered.

But I advise to visit Burg Trifels anyway. You will be able to look not only at the castle, but at fascinating landscapes and beautiful nature too.
