Schloss Marienfels, Gothic Revival palace in Remagen, Germany

Marienfels Castle stands on a hillside above the Rhine river, featuring eighteen rooms across 800 square meters and a forested park of 100,000 square meters.

Architect Carl Schnitzler designed this neo-gothic structure in 1859 for Eduard Frings, a sugar manufacturer from Krefeld who acquired the expansive hilltop location.

The palace represents a significant example of Gothic Revival architecture in Rhineland-Palatinate, incorporating medieval-style defensive elements that reflect nineteenth-century Prussian romanticism.

The castle maintains its position as a cultural heritage monument, situated between the Bundesstrasse 9 and the Cologne-Koblenz railway line on the Rhine's left bank.

A large statue of Mary stands beneath the castle, placed there by the original owner to ward off the devil who, according to legend, inhabited a cave in the mountain.
