About

Schönecken Castle (German: Burg Schönecken) is a ruined hill castle at 467 m above sea level (NN) above the village of Schönecken in the Nims valley in the West Eifel mountains. It lies within the county of Bitburg-Prüm in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The castle stands on the lowest hill ridge in the middle of a valley bowl. The site is guarded on all sides by higher hills.

The ruins of Schönecken Castle are also called Bella Costa or Clara Costa.
