- Burg Lichtenberg (Palatinate)
Castle Lichtenberg has a length of 425m and is the biggest castle ruin of Germany. It's located near Thallichtenberg in the district of Kusel in Rhineland-Palatinate.
History
The castle was built around 1200 and was owned since then by the counts of Veldenz and by the dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The castle was never conquered or destroyed by assaults. It was strongly damaged by a large fire on 26 October 1799. Since 1895 the castle is landmarked.
