Stolzenfels Castle, located in Koblenz, Germany, is a picturesque example of 19th-century Rhine romanticism. Originally built in the 13th century as a fortification, the castle was destroyed in the late 17th century during the Nine Years' War. It was later reconstructed in the 19th century under the direction of King Frederick William IV of Prussia, who commissioned the renowned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel to transform it into a neo-Gothic masterpiece. Today, Stolzenfels Castle stands as a testament to historical architectural revival, offering stunning views of the Rhine River and its surrounding landscapes.
