Burg Lichtenfels stands in Dalwigksthal (Landkreis Waldeck-Frankenberg), in Hesse, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Lichtenfels stands on a rocky spur above Dalwigksthal, overlooking the wooded Orke valley known as the Waldeck Switzerland. Founded at the end of the 12th century by the abbot of Corvey, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, with the last major reconstruction carried out in the early 20th century. It now houses a company's headquarters, making it a site mostly seen from outside rather than toured.

What to know

  • The castle serves as the headquarters of a private company and its interior is not open to visitors.
  • The site is best appreciated from the surrounding paths, with views over the Orke valley.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are published, as it is not a monument open to the public.
  • Access is via the village of Dalwigksthal, at the foot of the rocky spur.
