The value and significance of the Marksburg lie primarily in its complete preservation as a medieval fortification. For many visitors it is the epitome of a medieval castle. Its exposed location on a rocky cone 90 meters above the town of Braubach contributes to this. The imposing fortress with buildings mainly from the 13th to 15th centuries is staggered with a keep, several buildings, kennels and bastions. The typical interior rooms such as the castle kitchen, knights' hall, bower, chapel, armory, wine cellar, battlements and tower rooms are particularly worth seeing. They provide insights into medieval life.

It is a small town on the Lahn, but very worth seeing

The wonderful half-timbered house with great wood carvings was built between 1607 and 1609 as the Adelsheimer Hof and was used as the town hall in 1912. St. John's Church was rebuilt after the fire. A church tower bell from 1480 was preserved. A bronze flute player by the artist Helmut Bourger sits in front of the church. The city palace from around 1300 was the seat of the Imperial Knights of Stein. A famous descendant was the Prussian reform minister Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein. The castle was expanded from 1621 to 1816 with a main house and an octagonal tower.

Cozy old town with numerous possibilities for a short break

The ruins of the Margarethen church are located at the foot of the Arnstein monastery mountain. As the mother church, it presided over 72 chapels and churches in the Taunus and Westerwald in the 10th century (Middle Ages). A short, narrow path leads directly behind the church to the monastery wall of the Arnstein monastery. If the path is too steep, take the road. There are parking spaces not only at the Klostermühle leisure center and Bible school and at the ruins of the Margarethen church, but also at the Arnstein monastery.

The Marksburg stands on a slate cone at a height of 160 meters and is the only medieval hilltop castle on the Middle Rhine that has never been destroyed.

Great half-timbered building

The ruins are located at the foot of the monastery hill of Arnstein Abbey near Obernhof in the Rhein-Lahn district in Rhineland-Palatinate. The parish church in honor of St. When the Arnstein monastery was founded, Margareta was the property of Count Ludwig von Arnstein. It was a monument of great structural interest from the 10th century or perhaps even earlier and the mother church of 72 daughter churches, say the historians. It had a bell tower with two bells. A relic of St. Anthony preserved. The precious relic (skullcap) of St. Pope's Fabian had been a carefully guarded abbey treasure for centuries. It is set in silver, like a bowl. In 1813, the Margaretenkirche was auctioned off to the highest bidder for 500 guilders. The new owner had everything usable ripped out and sold. Tower, gallery, organ and furnishings disappeared. The rest was left to decay. It has belonged to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1949. Source: https://m.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.936224333191899.1073742185.124597204354620&type=3
