Sooneck Castle, Germany 19th century
BURG SOONECK - DEUTSCHLAND
Die Burg Sooneck in Niederheimbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Southwestern Germany, is a castle in the upper middle Rhein valley in the Mainz-Bingen district. Since 2002, it‘s been part of the Rhein Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The castle was first mentioned in 1271. Like neighboring Reichenstein Castle, it was managed by the Lords of Hohenfels as bailiffs for Kornelimünster Abbey in Aachen. It can be visited on guided tours. Its residential areas are furnished predominantly in neo-gothic and Biedermeier styles, enriched by paintings owned by the Hohenzollern family and the Köth-Wanscheid family, and drawings and sketches by Johann-Caspar Schneider among others.
Sooneck Castle is an impressive medieval edifice built originally in the early 11th century and destroyed on two separate occasions. It's located on a mountain at the edge of the Soon Forest along the Rhine River in western Germany.
Another view from the top of the castle. See how calm the river is below.
Visiting an ancient castle was exciting. We got a great view from up there.
