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.

Several episodes of the series 'Bares für Rares' with Horst Lichter were filmed here.

In the middle of the forest, the little dairy offers a tasty treat and space to breathe.

From the Dechendenkmal you have a good view of the Drachenburg, which was built in the 19th century.

Dairy farms

A nice view, but the building looks very different from behind. The park is very beautiful and if everything is ingrown it will make a lot more.

View of the Drachenfels castle. Nice hiking trail, also possible to ride a mountain bike

The first look after a short climb is rewarding.

Fantastic view of the Drachenburg

The Drachenburg Castle is well worth seeing

Very impressed castle. Currently closed. Seems to be privately owned too.

very nice vantage point overlooking the valley

My son and I were particularly taken with the golden deer.

Great vantage point with several resting places.

You should take a look in the cave behind the monument.
