Castles, Palaces & History

Old walls, enchanted ruins and vibrant history between Hunsrück and Nahe.

Castles and ruins shape the landscape of the Hunsrück-Nahe region and tell stories of knights, counts, and centuries-old history. Discover the mighty Schmidtburg in the Hahnenbachtal, the Kyrburg above Kirn, or the Burg Kastellaun in the historic town center. The Wasserburg Baldenau, Burg Balduinseck, Grimburg, and Stromburg are also among the special testimonies of the past.

In addition, smaller castle ruins and historical sites like Frauenburg, Dalburg, or Burg Dill are waiting to be discovered. And there is also plenty for little knights and princesses to experience: The Knight Tour to Stromberg connects three castles and brings their stories and legends to life on a family-friendly discovery tour.
