Schloss Drachenburg, Gothic Revival castle in Königswinter, Germany
The massive stone structure rises on Drachenfels hill with multiple towers, ornate windows, and decorative elements across its gray facades.
Baron Stephan von Sarter commissioned the castle's construction between 1882 and 1884 but never resided in the completed building.
The castle museum displays numerous artifacts and furnishings from the late 19th century, reflecting the German industrial age lifestyle.
Visitors can access the castle throughout the year with extended hours during summer months from 11:00 to 19:00.
The castle offers panoramic views of the Rhine River valley and contains original wall paintings restored after World War II damage.
