"... Below the Drachenfels lies Drachenburg Castle, a unique castle with a fantastic panorama of the Rhine. It was built in 1882-1884 and is today one of the most important castle buildings of the late 19th century in Germany. After several years of restoration, the castle, the park and the outer bailey in the splendor of the time it was built.
The residential and representational rooms invite you to get to know and enjoy Wilhelminian life and living culture with all its filigree splendor. A spacious park with old trees and magnificent rhododendrons stretches around the castle. The park also invites you to take a leisurely stroll with an unforgettable panorama of the Rhine. ..."
