Burg Trifels
Between 1088 and 1330, Trifels Castle was one of the most important centres of power under the Hohenstaufen and Salian dynasties. The crown, sceptre and orb of the imperial jewels were kept within its sturdy walls. You can admire faithful replicas in the spectacular treasure chamber.

The castle also served as a prison for some important people, the most famous of whom was the English King Richard the Lionheart.

The castle now open to the public is the result of successive phases of expansion, decline and rebuilding over nearly 1,000 years, from its beginnings in the 11th century to the more recent past.
