What to expect
Trifels Castle, also known as Reichsburg Trifels, is a reconstructed medieval castle located near the town of Annweiler in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. The castle has a rich history dating back to the 11th century and was once an important center of power for the Hohenstaufen and Salian dynasties. It was also used as a state prison, most notably for the English King Richard the Lionheart. Today, the castle features replicas of the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire and offers a glimpse into its storied past. Visitors can explore the castle's historic walls, towers, and chambers, and enjoy the surrounding scenery of the Palatinate Forest
