You walk to and from the castle along the old city wall.

The Werner Chapel in Bacharach is one of the most famous Gothic buildings on the Middle Rhine – and also one of the most moving, because of its tragic history. It is now a ruin, but its delicate, intricate architecture attracts visitors from all over the world. The Werner Chapel owes its name to "Werner von Oberwesel," a boy who tragically died in 1287. His death was falsely blamed on the Jews, leading to pogrom-like persecutions along the Middle Rhine – including in Bacharach. This anti-Semitic legend was later exploited by the church: Werner was declared a "martyr," and Bacharach became a place of pilgrimage.

The market tower in Bacharach is one of the most striking structures of the medieval town fortifications – it stands directly against the town wall and continues to shape the historic townscape. The tower was one of the town's main gates and served both for defense and for controlling the flow of goods into the town.

Everywhere in and around Bacharach, you'll encounter silent witnesses to the past. With its largely preserved old town, Bacharach is considered the secret center of Rhine Romanticism. Victor Hugo, Clemens Brentano, and many other Rhine Romantic travelers were captivated by Bacharach's beauty. Victor Hugo wrote in his travel journal: "Bacharach is probably the oldest inhabited place I have ever seen in my life. One would think that a giant, who traded in antiques, wanted to set up a general store on the Rhine. This ancient fairy town, teeming with myths and legends, is inhabited by a picturesque cast of inhabitants." And how enchanted these first Rhine tourists were by the sight of Bacharach can be imagined when one reads his description of Bacharach: "When the sun pushes aside a cloud and looks out of a skylight, nothing is as attractive as Bacharach." https://www.bacharach.de/stadtinformationen/stadtrundgang

Fürstenberg Castle is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the Rheindiebach district. It was built 152 meters above sea level on a triangular rocky outcrop above the Middle Rhine. Its origins date back to the early 13th century. At that time, it was built as a toll castle and security fortress on the orders of Engelbert I, Archbishop of Cologne. In later centuries, Fürstenberg Castle saw a continuous succession of owners. The 3-meter-thick shield wall and deep moat ensured its high resistance. Unlike most castles, the castle even withstood the Thirty Years' War very well. However, it was destroyed by the French army in the late 17th century by blasting. Only the keep survived. Later plans to convert it into a neo-Gothic palace failed. The castle ruins were attractive for a time, primarily due to their adjacent vineyards. For a time, they belonged to the wine wholesaler Wasum and were passed between various owners until 1993. Its The most recent owner is Gernot Stelter from Rheindiebach, who has since been working on an intensive restoration of Fürstenberg Castle in collaboration with the State Office for Monument Preservation. His goal is to make the ruins attractive to tourists again. Original stones from the ruins of the masonry were used in the reconstruction work. The reconstruction of the building is proving to be extremely labor-intensive and complex. The Stelter family already offers visitors the opportunity to view the grounds up close and enjoy a pleasant stay. The surrounding vineyards are carefully tended and form the basis of the associated Fürstenberg Castle winery. Two vacation apartments with views of the ruins and the Rhine plain are available for overnight stays. For hikers, the grounds offer a tranquil passage through the lush green vineyards. https://www.rheingau.de/sehenswertes/burgen-rheintal/fuerstenberg
