St. Goar, Germany: Reinfels Castle

This was the first castle we saw on our trip down part of the Middle Rhine, and at least from a distance it was a rather impressive one.

The Reinfels Castle started on the road to completion back in 1245, and the main entrance was constructed around 1300. It was the biggest castle on the Rhine for sometime. The facility lasted until 1797, when the French Army took it over and destroyed it.

But you can still take a look around in it, by paying the admission price. There is a museum there, and it has a great view of the valley.
