Schönburg, Medieval castle and hotel in Oberwesel, Germany.
The Schönburg castle rises above the Rhine River with its 20-meter shield wall and extensive fortifications extending across the hilltop grounds.
The Lords of Schönburg controlled the castle from the 12th century until 1689 when French troops burned it during the War of the Grand Alliance.
The castle restoration by the German-American Rhinelander family in the 19th century preserved the medieval architecture within the UNESCO World Heritage Rhine Valley.
The castle contains 29 rooms and suites, a restaurant serving regional cuisine, and provides views of the Rhine River from its terrace.
The Hüttl family has managed this medieval fortress since 1957, transforming the historical monument into a four-star hotel without compromising its defensive features.
