Note
"Nanstein Castle (German: Burg Nanstein) is a castle in Landstuhl, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

It was built around 1162 after Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I demanded its construction as additional defense for the Palatinate.

In 1504, German knight Franz von Sickingen inherited part of the castle after his father´s death in the War of the Bavarian Succession, finally acquiring the entire castle in 1518. He immediately began extensive re-fortification to make the castle suitable for firearms.

Nanstein is well known for an elaborate siege during the Knights´ Revolt in 1523 which claimed the life of von Sickingen. The fall of Nanstein was a symbol for the decline of castles in the Palatinate." - (en.wikipedia.org 27.04.2021)
