Burg Pfalzel stands in Trier (Trier), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
Burg Pfalzel stands in the Pfalzel district of Trier, on the site of a former Roman palace complex. Built in the 12th century for the archbishops of Trier, it was destroyed and rebuilt several times before losing its defensive role at the end of the 17th century. It is no longer a castle open for visits in the usual sense: its surviving towers and wall sections have been absorbed into private houses in the old village.
