Thurant Castle near Alken on the Moselle River is located in the Mayen-Koblenz district of Rhineland-Palatinate. Built in 1197, this imposing castle complex is one of the oldest and best-preserved hilltop castles on the Moselle River. It was named in memory of the failed siege of the Syrian fortress "Thuron." The castle—the only double castle on the Moselle—is privately owned but can be visited year-round for a fee. Doors and arches, battlements, and wooden walkways can be discovered along the paths within the castle. A hunting room, a small chapel worth seeing, a wine cellar with barrels, and a dungeon are also worth admiring. The climb to the platform of the Cologne Tower is worthwhile. At the top, a magnificent view opens up over the courtyards, vineyards, and the Moselle River. Benches are scattered throughout the courtyards in cozy nooks.

🍴The castle kiosk (with a cozy back room) offers light meals such as sausages and potato salad🍽.
