Hambach Castle
Hambach Castle (Hambacher Schloss) is a hilltop castle on the Schlossberg above Neustadt an der Weinstraße in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It served as an episcopal stronghold and residence of the Bishops of Speyer through the late Middle Ages and later became the symbolic site of the 1832 Hambacher Fest; today it is a restored national memorial, museum and convention centre.

As it stood in 1475
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on the Schlossberg (325 m) above surrounding sweet chestnut woods, the medieval castle presents a ringwork of stone curtain and an outer ring wall encircling a compact ensemble of multi-storey residential ranges and a chapel. Roofs are predominantly steeply pitched; masonry is exposed stone. The complex occupies a raised summit terrace with an enclosed central courtyard and an approach track climbing through the forest. In its prime (c.1475) the curtain walls, chapel roof and residential ranges stood intact and occupied.
