Pfalz Trebur stands in Trebur (Landkreis Groß-Gerau), in Hesse, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Pfalz Trebur was one of the major Carolingian and Ottonian royal palaces of the Rhine-Main region, of which no standing structure survives. Its presumed location lies around today's baroque parish church of St. Laurentius, where remnants of Carolingian masonry can still be found. There is no castle building to see in the usual sense, but the site carries real weight in German political history: several imperial diets were held here, including the 1076 assembly connected to the Investiture Controversy, and it was at Trebur that Charles the Fat abdicated in 887. A visit suits those interested in early medieval archaeology and history rather than a visible monument.
