Very beautiful castle ruins above Altenahr.
From the castle there is a very nice view of the Ahr valley and Altenahr.
Absolutely worth seeing!

Are Castle is the listed ruin of a hilltop castle at 240 m above sea level. NHN. It was built from 1095 to 1105 by Count Dietrich I of Are and first mentioned in a document in 1121.
Since 1965 the Are Gymnasium Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler has borne the name in reference to the castle and the noble family of the same name. Source: Wikipedia

The floor plan of the castle is a square. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate - the so-called Gymnicher Porz - remains of the defensive wall have also been preserved. In addition, there is an old gate tower (also known as the bell tower) on the south side of the complex, next to it the ruins of the palace, which once had a heated bishop's chamber. The first donjon probably stood on the pointed cliff in the north corner. To the north of it extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved. Wikipedia
