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

Very interesting destination. The best-preserved castle in the Middle Rhine Valley

The Marksburg was built in the 13th to 14th century under Gerhard II von Epstein in the late romantic style. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.

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
