Schloss Stolzenfels

Some miles above Koblinz lies Stolzenfels half way up the hillside opposite the mouth of the River Lahn. Its ruins were reconstructed by the famous architect Schinkel, under commission to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia. Once the seat of the Trier Archbishops, it has now been restored in a pseudo-Gothic style and serves today as a museum.
