Reichenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Trechtingshausen, Germany

The castle stands on a mountain spur on the eastern slope of the Bingen Forest, featuring thick defensive walls and towers along the Rhine River.

Built around 1100, the castle served as a stronghold for robber barons until King Rudolf of Habsburg ordered its destruction in 1290 after illegal activities.

The museum displays furnished palace rooms, ancestral galleries, and artifacts representing the living standards of industrial families from the 19th century.

Located at Burgweg 24 in Trechtingshausen, the castle offers guided tours, hotel facilities, and catering services for visitors throughout the year.

The castle houses Germany's largest collection of cast-iron stove plates and 1,200 hunting trophies gathered from four different continents.
