Dominant building of the city and seat of the main office of the city administration.
The entire mountain was then part of a defensive belt enclosed by a wall, in which the town of Bingium was also located. In 355 AD the complex fell victim to the Alemanni.
In 1282 the name "Burg Klopp" is mentioned for the first time in a document. Klopp Castle was destroyed several times by armed conflicts, most recently in 1689 in the Palatinate War of Succession.

The entire mountain was then part of a defensive belt surrounded by a wall, which also included the town of Bingium.

In 355 AD the complex fell victim to the Alemanni. The centuries that followed were bad for the mountain. Castles were built and destroyed. The name "Burg Klopp" was first mentioned in a document in 1282. Klopp Castle was repeatedly destroyed by armed conflicts, most recently in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession. The picturesque ruins established themselves as a popular destination during the Rhine Romantic era.

It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the wealthy merchant Ludwig Cron from Cologne began a generous reconstruction. In 1897 the castle then became the property of the town of Bingen. Since then, the mayors and part of the city administration have resided here. Severely destroyed in World War II, the fortress presents itself again today as one of the most beautiful landmarks in the city.
