Burg Rheinstein, Germany
From series “Gothic Architecture – Magnificent Monuments”
The beautiful Rheinstein Castle is located in one of the most picturesque corners of Germany, in the Middle Rhine Valley. It was built on top of a hill in the 13th century. Initially, it had a very important strategic significance. However, the castle fell into disrepair by 1344. It was empty for a long time. It was purchased by a Persian prince in 1794. The first large-scale reconstruction of the castle took place under his leadership. It belonged to the descendants of the prince in the future until 1863.
A small chapel was built on the territory of the castle in 1839. The tomb of Prince Frederick, as well as one of his sons, is located in it. The fortress was full of life during the years when the Persian prince owned it. He held grand jousting tournaments and balls here. He also invested huge sums in the design of the castle. Unique stained glass windows from the 14th century were delivered to it. Some of the unique wall paintings, including masterpieces by the famous artist Ludwig Pose, are preserved in the fortress.
