Count William II of Katzenelnbogen put up the place in 1371. By the way, the vineyard here was the first place in which Risling grapes were planted for wine production. All was well until 1806, when Napoleon blasted the place when he went by. It took about 90 years for it to be rebuilt.
The castle is now owned on private investors, and not open to the public. At least they have a nice view.
