Burg Landshut stands in Bernkastel-Kues (Landkreis Bernkastel-Wittlich), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Landshut stands above the Moselle bend near Bernkastel-Kues, on a hilltop that first carried a Roman fort before the medieval stronghold was raised on its foundations. Built at the end of the 13th century for the Archbishop of Trier, it has stood in ruins since a fire destroyed it in 1692. The keep can still be climbed, giving views over the vine-covered valley and the town below.

What to know

  • The ruin sits on a rocky spur above Bernkastel-Kues, reached by a path that climbs steadily.
  • The keep can be climbed and offers a view over the Moselle valley.
  • Part of the ruin now houses a restaurant.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are given in the available data, so checking locally is advisable.
  • The site is not indicated as accessible for visitors with reduced mobility.
