Stolzenfels Castle
Schloss Stolzenfels
A neo-Gothic palace rebuilt by the Prussian Crown Prince Frederick William IV, and a leading example of Rhine Romantic architecture.
The castle lies on the left bank of the Rhine, on the southern outskirts of Koblenz. It was originally a 13th-century fortress and was rebuilt in the Romantic style in the 19th century. Its interior preserves the original furniture, murals and chapel, and the garden has arcades and a small waterfall. Visits follow a guided tour of about 45 minutes. It is a 15-minute uphill walk from the car park, and buses from Koblenz also reach it. It is often closed on Mondays, so check the official website.
Opening hours
About 10:00–18:00; closed Mondays
