A very interesting castle ruin. Its construction began between 1310 and 1320. In 1332, Ludwig III took up residence in the castle and from then on called himself Walpode von der Neuerburg, Lord of Reichenstein. In 1523, the castle came into the possession of the Counts of Wied, who had it destroyed in 1618 after it had already fallen into considerable disrepair. Today, the Reichenstein castle ruins are privately owned and therefore not normally open to the public. Those wishing to visit the castle can book a guided tour through the local support association (by telephone). Additionally, the castle ruins are opened to the public on certain dates (during the summer). These dates are announced online by the support association.

The Broichhausen Motte is a natural monument zone. This was the site of a medieval castle south of Kircheib. The former tower hill castle was still inhabited until 1500. It consisted of a tower and was surrounded by two protective walls and a moat. The moat was fed by the Freiheitsbach/Griesenbach. Today, only the castle hill and the ramparts with moat can be seen here.

You can relax up here on the lounger and let your gaze wander across the valley. This is so beautiful....

From the former location of the castle you could previously see the movements on the two trade routes Cologne-Leipzig and Cologne-Frankfurt.

The area indicates an early historical rampart. The fact that there was a burial mound nearby until 1933 speaks for Celtic settlement. No documents about the castle could be found; apparently it no longer existed around 1300. What you can see are two (?) moats. Source: Gieleroth Chronicle

An impressive tower from the outside. Unfortunately it is locked and therefore the tower cannot be visited from the inside.

Unfortunately, it can only be visited by telephone arrangement. The castle is privately owned. It's a shame for hiking tourism, as you can't spontaneously take a closer look at the castle.
