Rheinstein Castle
Burg Rheinstein
A Romantic castle on a rock face near Trechtingshausen, rebuilt in the 1820s by a Prussian prince, with its interior furnishings intact.
Rheinstein Castle was one of the first castles in the valley to be restored in the Romantic style. Visitors can freely explore the knights' hall, the chapel, the gatehouse with its drawbridge, and the vineyard garden. It is about a 10-minute uphill walk from the car park by the Rhine. Buses are infrequent, so driving or taking a ferry from Assmannshausen is more convenient. Admission is a few euros, and it has limited opening hours in winter.
