8. History of Schloss Rheinfels
Castle built above St Goar by Count Dieter von Katzenelbogen.
16th century: Thanks to the Earls of Hesse, it underwent conversion into an impressive Renaissance mansion.
17/18th centuries: Conversion into the most formidable fortress on the Rhein against which all enemy attacks failed.
Captured by the French troops and blown up.
19/20th centuries: The huge mass of ruins covering the top of the hill is still one of the most noteworthy sites along the Rhein.
Open to the public during the summer season.
