context_page_description: Numerous castles are found in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1000 years, were the setting of historical events and the domains of famous personalities; and many still are imposing edifices to this day.
  This list encompasses buildings variously described in German as Burg, Festung, Schloss and Palais/Palast. Many German castles after the Middle Ages were built as, or converted to, royal or ducal palaces rather than fortified buildings.
