Martinsburg, Medieval château in Lahnstein, Germany
The Martinsburg rises along the Rhine River with a rectangular tower house featuring two corner towers and hexagonal foundations from the 14th century.
Built in 1298 as a customs castle for the Archbishops of Mainz, the structure served to monitor Rhine navigation and secure toll collection.
The former defensive fortress now contains a carnival museum that presents the regional traditions and celebrations of the Rhine region.
The castle functions as a multi-purpose complex, housing private apartments, offices, and a mint while remaining open for guided tours.
The 28-meter-high keep, constructed around 1400, incorporates an integrated staircase tower and toilet facilities within its medieval architecture.
