Sayn Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bendorf, Germany.

The castle stands on Kehrberg hill at 110 meters elevation, featuring thick stone walls and a preserved 20-meter-high tower overlooking the Rhine valley.

Built in the 12th century as a residence for the Counts of Sayn-Wittgenstein, the castle suffered destruction by Swedish forces during the Thirty Years War in 1632.

The castle complex includes archaeological remnants of a three-apsed chapel with decorated flooring from 1200 and an octagonal staircase tower in the inner bailey.

Visitors can reach the castle via federal highway B413 or regional road L306, with parking facilities located near the entrance to the grounds.

Two holiday apartments now occupy space within the medieval bergfried, allowing guests to stay inside the restored defensive tower of the castle.
