The castle has its origins in the early 14th century. With its towers and battlements, it really looks like you would imagine a medieval castle to be - a fairytale view directly over the Rhine.

from the castle battlements you always have a great view of the Rhine

A visit to this castle is worthwhile

The Rossel castle ruins were built in 1774 by Count Ostein on the highest elevation in the Niederwald. It is a popular tourist destination, especially because of its wonderful view of the Nahe estuary and the Binger Loch.

You have a great view from the Rossel :)

The Rossel, an artificial ruin, is located on the western boundary between Rüdesheim am Rhein and its district of Assmannshausen in the Hessian Rheingau-Taunus district and is now a destination in the Niederwald landscape park with a view of the opposite mouth of the Nahe into the Rhine and the Binger Hole. At their feet, about 400 meters to the south, are the ruins of Ehrenfels Castle and, on a small offshore island in the Rhine, the Bingen Mouse Tower. The Rossel is about a 20-minute walk from the Niederwald Monument and a 10-minute walk from the Niederwald hunting lodge. Count Johann Friedrich Karl Maximilian von Ostein had the artificial ruins built in 1774 as part of the transformation of the Niederwald into a landscape park for his guests. It was named after a pile of Taunus quartzite rubble of the same name in its immediate vicinity. The Rossel consists of a square main tower about 5 meters wide with a small terrace to the south facing the Rhine and a small stair tower to the north-west. The ruins built from field stones are decorated with castle elements. The Rossel is surrounded by several vantage points, such as the Naheblick (east) and the Knights' Hall (northwest) and the so-called magic cave (north), an artificial cave about 60 meters long.

The Rossel lies above the Rhine curve and the Binger Loch. On the opposite side you can see Bingen and Bingerbrück and the Nahe estuary on the left. Directly opposite or to the right are the Hartberg with Teufelsfels and the Rheinberg with the Damianskopf, as well as the steep Kreuzbach valley in between. Above the Nahe estuary you can see further into Rheinhessen. Below the Rossel you can see the ruins of Ehrenfels Castle and the Mouse Tower on a small island on the Rhine.
