Ruins and rocks from this once mighty castle still overlook an extensive stretch of the Rhein. Emperor Henry IV sought refuge here, bringing with him the crown insignia, when he was persued by his son. The castle was destroyed after the 'Thirty Years' War. The tower and the 16-ft.-thick outer wall are all that remain of this vast structure. [Text taken from Castles On The Rhein] |
