Marksburg Castle and its Many Owners

Monday, July 11
Marksburg Castle has one astonishing fact that makes it cooler than any of the other Castles along the Rhine, it has never been completely destroyed. Even though this Castle has been damaged severely several times it has only had to undergo renovations. This Castle was first built in 1117 and has changed owners at least six times. We got to take an hour and a half long tour of the Castle and got to see many of the rooms including the bedroom, the kitchen/dining room, and the torture chamber.Upon completion of the tour we got back on the bus and came back to Bonn. In all, we were gone for almost two days.
This picture shows the view that the cannons have overlooked the Rhine and Braubach, the town just across the river.
This picture gives a better look of Braubach
