Waldeck Castle is a mediaeval castle ruin overlooking the Baybach valley in Dorweiler village, Rhineland-Palatinate. The site was the main seat of the Hunsrück family of Boos. William I of Heinzenberg built the fortress in 1150 and established the Boos-Waldeck family. The castle endured several wars, and was partially destroyed in 1689 by French forces during the Nine Years' War. The castle was used until 1833 when the Boos von Waldeck family sold its holdings in the Rhineland.
