The Castle of Our valley is an Outbound hilltop castle on the Castle Hill to the northwest at the hamlet Lieb steel of the local church Quirnbach / Pfalz in Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate .
The castle was probably built in the first half of the 14th century by the Lords of Liebsthal (Johann von Lybesstatt), who were feudal people of the Counts of Veldenz . In 1879 around 100 wagons of bricks with scorch marks were driven away during clearing work. Nothing has been superficially preserved from the former castle complex, of which foundations are still assumed to be in the ground. However, numerous ravines and a striking terrain spur north of Liebsthal indicate the importance of this traffic area in the Middle Ages. Whether the castle actually sat on the ridge, as has been handed down, or on the spur of the terrain on a central slope, can only be proven by archaeological studies.
