Arenfels Castle, formerly also called Arienfels Castle, is a castle complex above Bad Hönningen in Rhineland-Palatinate, which dates back to a medieval castle from the 13th century. The castle acquired its present external appearance between 1849 and 1855, during which time it was extensively remodeled in the Neo-Gothic style under the direction of Cologne Cathedral architect Ernst Friedrich Zwirner. Due to its 365 windows, 52 doors, and 12 towers, it was nicknamed "Castle of the Year."

A very beautiful castle situated at a moderate elevation on the Rhine. Therefore, easily accessible.
