The Marksburg is a 12th-century[1] hilltop castle above the Rhineland-Palatinate town of Braubach am Rhein, from which it got its original name Burg Brubach. It stands on a slate cone at a height of 160 meters and is the only medieval hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine that has never been destroyed. The plastered quarry stone building was created for the protection and administration of Braubach and initially also served as a customs castle.

The castle is a protected cultural monument according to the Monument Protection Act (DSchG) and is entered in the Rhineland-Palatinate list of monuments.[2] Furthermore, it is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention and is marked with the blue and white protection symbol. It has also been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002.
