Lichtenberg Castle is a ruin of the spur castle type; with a length of 425m it is the biggest castle ruin in Germany. It is located near Thallichtenberg in the district of Kusel in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The castle was built around 1200 and was owned until 1444 by the counts of Veldenz; after which it fell into the ownership of Stephen, Count Palatine of Simmern-Zweibrücken. Under the new rule, Lichtenberg Castle became the administrative seat of Zweibrücken until the move of the administration to Kusel in 1758. The castle remained under the duchy until the dissolution of the Duchy of Zweibrücken in 1792.
