Castle Pfalz
Castle Pfalz (Die Pfalz or Pfalzgrafenstein) sits on the island of Falkenau in the middle of the Rhine. It was a toll castle built for the sole purpose of generating revenue. The Baron would raise and lower chains across the river controlling traffic. It worked in concert with Gutenfels Castle (Burg Gutenfels) and the fortified town of Kaub on the other side of the river. They kept those who refused to pay in the dungeon, a wooden float in the well, until they were paid.
