Burg Helfenstein

Koblenz, Germany

Helfenstein Castle is a derelict spur castle on the Ehrenbreitstein in Koblenz. It was built around 1160 on a mountain spur south of Ehrenbreitstein Castle in Trier by the von Helfenstein family. Both castles were separated from each other by a deep gorge. The family initially served at the Ehrenbreitstein, but expanded their domain around 1300 with the construction of the Sporkenburg and Mühlenbach Castle.
