Whether medieval knight's castles, neat baroque castles or impressive fortifications - the variety and density of these buildings on the Romantic Rhine is simply impressive.

The stone witnesses often served to collect customs duties and were thus an important source of income for the respective rulers. Other buildings were erected to protect against neighboring archbishoprics or electorates, while still others served purely representative purposes. Today, most of the buildings are open to visitors and house restaurants, museums or hotels.

Living and sleeping like a lord or a lady of a castle...on the Romantic Rhine this dream comes true, because often you can also spend the night in the historic walls. Whether fairy-tale youth hostels, cosy (wedding) apartments or first-class hotels, there is something for every taste and budget!
