This magnificent UNESCO palace is a prime example of Prussian Rhine romanticism. Starting out as a Medieval fortress, built between 1242-1259 for The Trier Archbishop Arnold von Isenburg and used as a toll castle, it was destroyed in 1689 during the Palatine War of Succession.
The 19th-century building seen today was developed from the 13th-century ruins by Prussian Crown prince Frederick William who wanted a Summer residence.
Visitors can take a guided tour through the palace before exploring the 5 gardens plus landscaped park.
