The Kammerburg is the ruin of a spur castle overlooking the Wisper valley near Lorch, in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, Hesse. Built around 1295 by the Archbishopric of Mainz to threaten the nearby Burg Rheinberg, it survives only as scant remains of a small inner enclosure, a shield wall and a gate tower.

What to know

There are no opening hours, admission fees or visitor facilities at this site.
Burg Rheinberg, about 500 metres away and 75 metres higher, helps explain the Kammerburg's strategic position.
A residential building erected in the 1960s now occupies the former outer bailey area.
The site is protected as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany, as are the villa and lodge of the neighbouring Landsitz Kammerburg.
