The Castle was handed over to the Archbishop of Mainz (also see MAINZ - CATHEDRAL AND CULTURE CENTER) in the 1400's. It eventually fell into ruin, but was rediscovered and restored in the 1800's. In later restorations the castle has been decorated with stained glass, frescoes and a collection of art and furniture and contains a selection of armor pieces and and array of antlers adorning the walls. There is also a small outdoor café where after patrolling the battlement one can sip a glass on Rhine wine or milche caffe and contemplate the next melee assault of imperial knights errant on the errant neighbor knights of the castle next door. To
reach Burg Rheinstein by car take the autobahn from Frankfurt, Mainz
or
Mannheim and get off at Bingen. Cross the Bingerbrück and head north
along the western shore of the Rhine. By train or river cruise get off
at Trechtingshausen, about 30 minutes from Frankfurt/Main. © Bargain
