Reichsburg Cochem

The Reichsburg (Imperial Castle) in the city of Cochem is a historic monument on the Moselle that towers 100 metres above the city. The castle's history dates back to 1100, when it served as a so-called toll castle, where passing ships on the Moselle were charged for tolls. In the 19th century, the medieval castle, which was heavily damaged during a succession war, was restored in the neo-gothic style associated with German castle romanticism.
