Marksburg Castle, one of the very few castles which have never been destroyed, today the seat of 'Burgenverein', the association for the preservation of German castles.
Located above the town of Braubach in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley which has been awarded the title UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 (ref. 1066).
A first version of Marksburg Castle including the central tower (not as tall at the time, though) was most probably erected shortly after 1100. First mentioned as a castle in a document in 1231.
