니더지센‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

폰 이젠부르크 가문이 수 세기 동안 소유했던 이 성은 역사 속에서 여러 차례 주인이 바뀌었습니다. 20세기부터 부분적으로 대중에게 공개되었으며, 오늘날에는 결혼식, 축제 및 문화 행사를 위한 장소로 사용되고 있습니다. 역사와 현대적인 활용의 결합은 아렌펠스 성을 라인란트의 살아있는 문화 기념물로 만듭니다.

Zwirner significantly modified the medieval castle, giving it the characteristic appearance that is admired today. In doing so, he added, among other things, the 365 windows, 52 doors and 12 towers that made the castle the "Castle of the Year", a playful allusion to the days, weeks and months of a year.

Arenfels Castle has a long and fascinating history dating back to the 13th century. The castle was originally built around 1258 by Gerlach von Isenburg to secure and control the surrounding lands. However, the current castle dates largely from the 19th century, when the Prussian architect Ernst Friedrich Zwirner - known for his work on Cologne Cathedral - had the building redesigned in the neo-Gothic style.

As so often over the centuries, only a ruin remains of the once imposing imperial castle (mentioned as such in documents in AD 1000). During the French occupation of the Rhineland, it suffered the typical fate: conquest and destruction.

Here you can marvel at beautiful old half-timbered houses.

From up here you have a great view of the Ahr Valley.

A little rest at the keep of the Hammerstein ruins, enjoying the view and unpacking a picnic - that's hiking fun!

Beautiful half-timbered houses on the Rhine promenade, which are mainly used by restaurants.
