Stolzenfels Castle can be found above the
rhine, opposite the confluence of the Lahn. It has been built from the 13th
century and became a ruin after the destruction by the French in 1689 until King Friedrich
Wilhelm of Prussia, who had been given the ruin as a present, rebuilt it in 1836-42.They
included the remaining parts into a new design, which can be visited with the original
furnishings. The castle courtyard, the residential chambers, the knights´halls and the
chapel are said to be of particular interest. |
