Burg Gutenfels - Kaub

Castle Gutenfels, up on the hill, was erected in the first half of the 13th century. It is one of the most important examples of residential and military building on the Rhine. It received its name after Landgraf Wilhelm von Hessen had besieged it in vain in 1504. After being broken up since 1807, it was then reconstructed around 1892. Today it serves as a hotel and is open all through the year to hotel guest only.
