    The ruin of the city castle lies in the east of the city wall and is a highlight of the fortification.

      Well preserved city wall, beautiful gardens, castle and stronghold, crane and as a highlight a Kaltwassergeysir ... Andernach worth a visit

        There is now a vegetable and flower garden in the moat. Geese and chickens also feel at home here.

          Andernach attaches great importance to its medieval buildings. Therefore there are some nice corners here. The moat is definitely one of them.

            It is very pretty here, they told me that it was even possible to marry in two towers.

                "The construction of the electoral Cologne castle began around 1200. It was destroyed by the French in 1689 during the Palatinate War of Succession. The cannonballs, which were piled up to form a pyramid in the castle garden, date from the time of the Thirty Years' War. The city castle is one of the best-preserved ruins The baker's boy's festival and the medieval scoundrel's market take place regularly against the backdrop of the castle ruins."

                  Beautiful castle complex with well-preserved city walls; the historic old town of Andernach is very beautiful and worth seeing

                      The city of Andernach has planted vegetable patches around the city wall, from which residents can help themselves (edible city).

                        The remains of the city wall are already impressive
