Castle Rheineck, Medieval castle in Bad Breisig, Germany
Castle Rheineck stands at 185 meters above sea level on the left bank of the Rhine River, offering views across the Middle Rhine Valley.
The initial fortress, constructed before 1115 by Count Palatine Otto I of Salm, faced destruction in 1151 during territorial conflicts with royal troops.
The castle chapel features an octagonal design that mirrors the architectural elements of the Carolingian Octagon from Aachen Cathedral.
The castle remains in private ownership and requires advance arrangements through the Bad Breisig Tourist Office for any potential visits.
Moritz August von Bethmann-Hollweg transformed the structure into a Romanesque-style residence between 1832 and 1836, departing from traditional castle architecture.
