Marksburg Castle Upclose

Marksburg Castle is a well preserved Medival castle. 

It's uneven cobblestone, gate house and horse stalls remain to give visitors a glimpse into days gone by.

The wealthy families who have lived here have left us with reminders of their lifestyle. Here is the music room, which it situated off the of the dining room.

The bed is very short (about 4 ft) by modern standards, but we were told that people were not very tall.

Marksburg castle was a strategic stronghold because of its great position on the Rhine. Today, as we are greeted by the stunning views; there are no warships in sight.
