Meistersel Castle is a ruined castle near Ramberg on the outskirts of the Palatinate Forest in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is located on a 492-metre-high hilltop that towers above the Modenbach valley near the Three Beeches pass (Drei Buchen) on the road from Ramberg to Edenkoben.
Meistersel Castle is one of the oldest castles in the
ministeriales of the imperial castle of Trifels
. Its other name, Modeneck, comes from the name of the nearby stream.
