Burg Rheinstein
With roots dating back to the 14th century, Burg Rheinstein is a striking representation of romantic architecture strategically perched above the Rhine River.
The castle was established in the 1820s by the Prussian Hohenzollerns as a summer residence, marking it as the first Rhine castle to undergo such a transformation. Its neo-Gothic design features turrets and battlements, while the interior retains furnishings from over a century ago. Notable aspects include a tiny chapel, the Rittersaal (Knights’ hall), and exquisite stained-glass windows from Cologne and Düsseldorf dating from the 14th to 19th centuries.
