Lahneck Castle
Burg Lahneck
A 13th-century castle above the point where the Lahn flows into the Rhine. From its tower you can see both rivers at once, and across the water stands Stolzenfels Castle.
Lahneck Castle was built by the Archbishop of Mainz to protect the local silver mines and was restored in the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century. Guided tours of the interior are available, and you can climb the pentagonal main tower to look out over the mouth of the Lahn and the Rhine. The castle stands in the town of Lahnstein. It is about 10 minutes by train from Koblenz, and a 20-minute uphill walk from the station.
