Marksburg, located in Braubach, Germany, is a well-preserved medieval castle that stands majestically above the Rhine River. Constructed in the 12th century, it has the distinction of being one of the few castles along the Middle Rhine that has never been destroyed. Its strategic position allowed it to serve primarily as a defensive fortress. Visitors to Marksburg can explore its impressive architecture, including a towering keep, fortified walls, and beautifully preserved interiors featuring medieval furnishings and weaponry.
