OUTSIDE THE CASTLE IN FRONT OF THE HORSESHOE TOWER

THE FRONT BUILDING I'M ASSUMING IS THE HORSESHOE TOWER WHICH IS MADE UP OF STONES AND WAS BUILT IN 40 DAYS.


A CLOSER LOOK AT IT, IN DEFENSE, THIS WINDOW IS WHERE WE ALSO ASSUMED THE CANONS AND MUSKETS WHERE USED







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.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.
