Burg Katz

Burg Katz above St Goarshausen The castle is set like a crown on the hillside overlooking St Goarshausen. It was built by Count Johann of Katzenelbogem at the end of the 14th century. Destroyed only in 1804 and restored a century later, Burg Katz today houses a Natural Science Grammer and Boarding School. The path by which the castle is reached leads under the three-sroreyed main hall into the courtyard. The view, especially to the Loreley southward, is held to be one of the Rhein's best known. Burg Katz is private and closed to the public. [Text taken from Castles On The Rhein]
