Burg Lahneck
Lahnstein, Germany, Germany
Burg Lahneck is a medieval spur castle built around 1226 by Archbishop Siegfried III of Mainz atop a rocky spur overlooking the Lahn River's confluence with the Rhine in Lahnstein, Germany, to protect his territories and nearby silver mines.
First documented in 1245 with its chapel, it hosted King Adolf of Nassau in 1298 and survived feuds before heavy damage in the Thirty Years' War in 1633, final destruction in 1688 during the Nine Years' War, and romantic restoration around 1860 blending original medieval walls with neo-Gothic elements.
Privately owned since 1907 by Admiral Robert Mischke's descendants, the UNESCO-listed site now offers guided tours of its chapel, knight's hall, and panoramic views, inspiring Goethe's 1774 poem Geistesgruß.
