Old Castle, Cultural heritage monument and lowland castle in Koblenz, Germany.
The Old Castle stands at the convergence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, featuring medieval fortification elements and a distinctive round tower.
Constructed around 1185 by the von der Arken family, the castle incorporated parts of a Roman tower and underwent substantial modifications under Archbishop Baldwin of Luxembourg.
The castle represents the medieval power dynamics between religious authorities and citizens, serving as a testament to local governance evolution in Koblenz.
Located near the city center, the Old Castle maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages throughout the week.
The structure operated as a sheet metal factory from 1806 to 1897, marking an unusual industrial chapter in the history of medieval fortifications.
