Knight * Rhine * Romance

In the heart of the romantic Rhine Valley, a small town invites you to visit. A town with a long history, medieval character, and idyllic flair. Surrounded by vines and roses, it is guarded by the imposing Marksburg Castle, which towers high above the winding streets of the old town. It is the only undestroyed hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine. Numerous remnants of the medieval town fortifications can still be found in Braubach, such as the historic St. Barbara Church from the 13th century, whose tower was a corner fortification of the city wall. Also worth seeing is the 11th-century St. Martin's Chapel. This is the final resting place of the famous chamber singer Heinrich Schlusnus (1888–1952), who was born in Braubach. In the old town lies Philippsburg Castle with its romantic courtyard and Renaissance garden. Here, the European Castle Institute houses one of the largest castle libraries in Europe. Braubach offers its guests peace and tranquility, as well as entertainment, culture, and a wide variety of excursion options.

Partly a very well-kept old town with well-preserved half-timbered houses. Philippsburg Castle is also very well preserved and has good restaurants.

Braubach's Oberallee is a major thoroughfare. The street's focal points are the fountain, the Obertor (Upper Gate), and the Hotel zum Weißen Schwanen (White Swan Hotel).
The Obertor (Upper Gate) was part of the city wall, built in 1200. It served as a checkpoint on the trade route to Wiesbaden. The former meter-gauge Nassauische Kleinbahn (Nassau narrow-gauge railway) ran through the gate.
