Rheinfels Castle, Germany

Duke Diether V built this grand castle in the 13th century, with a beautiful view of the Rhine. Rheinfels Castle underwent several stages of renovation and was then almost completely destroyed by Napoleon’s troops in 1797. In 1843 it was saved by Wilhelm I of Germany. Since 1925 it has been owned by the city of Sankt Goar. Today, about a third of the original castle is still standing.
