Emichsburg Castle (Ruin)

The Emichsburg is a ruin in a forest east of the city of Eberbach in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis in Baden-Württemberg. It is located above Eberbach Castle.

The hunting lodge or hunting house was built in 1828 by Prince Karl von Leiningen. The building was named after the Emichsburg near Bockenheim (Palatinate), which was an old Leiningen property. After the prince's wedding, the house was enlarged in 1829 and received a tower-like structure in 1830. From 1840, the Emichsburg was no longer inhabited and was partially demolished in 1844. The initially preserved building parts, the tower and kitchen building, were plundered during the revolution in 1848. In the second half of the 19th century, the complex was finally abandoned.

The former hunting lodge was a small complex with castle-like fortifications, of which only a tower stump with wall remains can still be seen. A hunting lodge and a shed were built on the remains, which have since fallen into disrepair. A moat can be assumed.
