Count Palatinate Heinrich, son of Henry the Lion

 Thurant reigns over vinyards on the south side of the Mosel river. I have only seen it from this angle and distance so can not give you a personal account of the castle and its present condition or the amenitites available. It was built by royalty and is considered a double castle with twin towers. Built by the son of King Henry the Lion to defend his brother king Otto IV.
