Marksburg Castle (2010)
River Rhein, Germany

Marksburg stands high on a craig above the town of Braubach.  It is the  only fully preserved Mediaeval fortress on the Rhein.  From 1180 it was owned successively by the Lords of Eppstein, the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and the Landgraves of Hesse (1479).  In 1866 it fell to the Prussians.  In 1899 Kaiser Wilhelm II presented the castle to the "Association for the Preservation of German Castles."  Today fascinating tours will lead you through the castle and give you a fascinating taste of Mediaeval life.
