Reichenstein Castle
Burg Reichenstein
A castle museum and hotel in Trechtingshausen with a collection of cast-iron stoves and hunting trophies. It was once the stronghold of robber barons.
In the Middle Ages, Reichenstein Castle was the lair of robber barons who plundered passing merchants, until it was destroyed by Rudolf I. The castle now houses a museum that displays furniture, weapons, hunting trophies and a collection of cast-iron wall stoves, and it also offers hotel accommodation. It can be visited together with Rheinstein Castle, just one kilometre away, and Sooneck Castle further downstream.
