The mighty, well-fortified towers of Runkel Castle rise suddenly and unexpectedly on rigid, vertically sloping rocks in the middle of the lovely Lahn valley. Still today an example of an early medieval defense structure, it appears impregnable to the viewer from the Lahn side.
Ancestral hall, old paintings, old furniture, weapons and equipment, vaults with a large press (the Runkeler Rote was pressed here centuries ago), torture chamber, old masonry speaking tubes, etc.
