Drachenburg Castle, built in 1882-1884, is the youngest of the castles and palaces on the Middle Rhine.
The interior is exceptionally gorgeous.
After its extensive restoration, visitors can experience the home decor of the late 19th century in the refurbished rooms. The large landscape park invites you to linger and stroll. The history of the castle comes to life in exhibitions on the eventful history of the castle and the restoration measures. A visit to the museum on the history of nature conservation in the car hall rounds off the visit.
