    The castle 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 castle was built around 1117 to protect the town of Braubach. the Marksburg was temporarily used as a prison. Finally, in 1900 it was sold to the German Castle Association for the symbolic amount of 1000 Marks.
