Schloss Schöneck, Medieval castle in Boppard, Germany

Schloss Schöneck stands on a rock formation above the Ehrbach Gorge, featuring a trapezoidal core castle with an outer bailey and rectangular keep.

The castle construction began around 1200 by Conrad of Boppard, who served as an imperial ministerialis, and remained in his family until 1508.

The painter Wilhelm Steinhausen acquired the castle in 1910, creating numerous landscape paintings and portraits during his residency at the property.

The castle remains under private ownership through the Wilhelm and Ida Steinhausen Foundation, with specific areas accessible to visitors during scheduled times.

The structure operated as a milk spa facility between 1846 and 1848, marking an unexpected chapter in the castle's long history.
