Kirkel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kirkel is a village and a municipality in the Saarpfalz district, in Saarland, Germany. It is situated approx. 8 km southeast of Neunkirchen, and 20 km east/northeast of Saarbrücken.

A rather well-preserved castle ruin is located a few hundred metres from the town centre. The small Kirkel castle was built in 1075 and is the town's landmark. Since it sits on top of a small castle hill, it can be seen from a distance.
