Lauterecken Castle

Lauterecken Castle is located in the small Palatinate town of Lauterecken and is considered a cultural monument. It is located at Veldenzplatz 1.

In 1343, the castle with its characteristic Veldenz Tower was first mentioned. In the early sixteenth century, it was virtually rebuilt and expanded at the end of that century as the "Neuer Bau" (New Building); the latter is located at Schlossgasse 1.

The administrative building and the barn were rebuilt in 1803 and 1804. Both are preserved to this day. The castle's cellar is in the late Gothic architectural style. The Veldenz Tower was formerly part of the ring wall that surrounded the castle.
