The ruins of Ramstein Castle stand on a 182-metre-high, Bunter sandstone rock on the edge of the Meulenwald forest in the lower Kyll valley near Kordel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The hill castle was built in the early 14th century by the Archbishop of Trier, Diether of Nassau as the successor to a fortified manor farm. From then on, it was a fief castle of the Electorate of Trier which was enfeoffed to electoral subjects and cathedral deans. During the War of the Palatine Succession, the castle was occupied by French troops and blown up in 1689. It was not rebuilt. The successor to the former noble house of the castle is used today as a hotel-restaurant.
