After we came down the mountain top from the Niederwalddenkmal, we dropped into Rudisheim, the town and I took a few photos of the Bromserburg Castle. It was built around 1000 AD and today, it is a wine and local history museum.

Directly next to the Bromserburg Castle, you can find the Boosenburg Castle. All that remains is the tower built in 12th century, however a large manor home is attached to it in 1900s.

Then we drove towards the town of Assmannshausen but before we arrive there, we drive pasted the Ehrenfels Castle ruins and the Mouse Tower which was under scaffold and restoration.

On the middle Rhine, we found castles and towns every few minutes. Hard to believe but this entire area of the Rhine was extremely active with trade and a major waterway through history. The rich robber barrens built their castles and these were later destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed...you get the idea.
