Klopp Castle, Hill castle in Bingen am Rhein, Germany.
The stone fortress sits at 127 meters elevation, featuring a southwest tower that rises 26 meters high with four corner turrets above the Rhine River.
First documented in 1240, the castle sustained damage during the Thirty Years' War and underwent reconstruction in 1653 following destruction in military conflicts.
The castle became a destination for 75,000 recorded visitors during the 19th century, marking its role in early Rhine River tourism.
The Gothic structure now houses municipal administrative offices and provides views across the Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The site may have originally contained a Roman fortification from 10 CE, during Nero Claudius Drusus's reign, leading to its early name Drusenburg.
