Ruine Mandelberg stands in Pfalzgrafenweiler (Landkreis Freudenstadt), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Ruine Mandelberg stands above the Waldach valley in Baden-Württemberg, the remains of a stronghold built around 1250. Its 35-metre keep still rises over the site, while the castle courtyard remains open to visitors. Excavations carried out from 1975 onwards uncovered much of the core fortification and its economic yard, giving a sense of how a medieval stronghold was laid out.

What to know

  • The keep, used as a viewing tower, is currently closed to visitors until further notice.
  • The castle courtyard remains open and can be visited freely.
  • The site sits on a height above the Waldach valley, so some walking uphill is required.
  • The structure is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Baden-Württemberg.
  • There are no set opening hours or admission fees, as the site is freely accessible.
