Rheinfels Castle, built in 1245 near St. Goar on the Rhine, ..
Added 2025-05-20 18:15:02 +0000 UTCRheinfels Castle, built in 1245 near St. Goar on the Rhine, directly on the Loreley rock, is also considered a ruin. Anyone who imagines a broken or dilapidated castle: Far from it. It still rises majestically above the Rhine Valley today. It has been sensationally preserved. To be more precise, the castle is a spur castle situated on a ridge between the left bank of the Rhine and the Gründelbach valley above St. Goar. After its expansion into a fortress, it was the largest fortification in the Middle Rhine Valley between Koblenz and Bingen. The fortress used to be considered one of the most secure and impregnable castles in Germany, and since 1973 there has been a luxurious hotel next door, which has borne the name "Romantik Hotel Schloss Rheinfels" since 2005. Maybe worth a visit sometime! Kisses 😘
