The beautiful Rhineland-Palatinate region doesn’t lack beautiful historic buildings, and the Rheinstein Castle is among one of them. Not far from Frankfurt, graciously overlooking River Rhine, the castle once occupied an important strategic location that nowadays excels in its romantic beauty. The castle was first built in the 14th century and rebuilt in the 19th century. Typical for medieval architecture, the castle has a functioning drawbridge as well as a portcullis. Castle’s courtyard is called Burgundy Garden after the type of grapes that grow in the surrounding area. The castle chapel features a Gothic altarpiece.
