A gem in the Palatinate highlands.

The moated castle in Reipoltskirchen is a real gem in the Palatinate uplands - and well worth a visit at any time.
Reipoltskirchen has the best-preserved moated castle in the Palatinate.
A new film released in 2018 by Bernd Schmitt ("Pfalz bewegt") shows Reipoltskirchen moated castle in all its facets https://player.vimeo.com/video/267480373

Built in the last third of the 12th century, the castle complex on the artificial hill surrounded by a circular wall does not look like a ruin, but rather like an inhabited castle thanks to the residential buildings along the circular wall. A seventeen metre high keep guards it, while a wide moat, in which the water of the Odenbach is dammed, protects the romantic idyll.
