Majestic Katz Castle

Perched above St. Goarshausen, Katz Castle exemplifies medieval architecture and history. Built around 1371 by Count William II of Katzenelnbogen, it stands resilient against the backdrop of the Rhine River.

The castle has witnessed historical sieges, notably being bombarded by Napoleon in 1806, later rebuilt between 1896 and 1898. Its preserved state offers a glimpse into medieval defense strategies.
