    The Kaiserpfalz (Barbarossaburg) was a fortified castle of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa, 12th century. The historical ruins are located in the old town of Kaiserslautern. The remains of the castle are currently being uncovered by the Kaiserpfalz Kaiserslautern support group. The Imperial Palace is a top attraction and a very nice destination in the city.

    The imperial palace of Kaiserslautern, which has become a ruin, popularly known as Barbarossaburg or Burg Kaiserslautern, is a defensive and administrative castle built in the 12th century by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa as a royal palace in the West Palatinate town of Kaiserslautern (today Rhineland-Palatinate).

    In front of the Casimirschloss (Pfalzgrafensaal) in the southeast of Willy-Brand-Platz, you will find an information board about the historical remains visible on the castle hill. Exactly there, you will also see stone sarcophagi from the Carolingian burial ground from the 7th-10th century and, east of the Pfalzgrafensaal, the castle moat with wagon tracks.
