Braubach

A historical city with medieval character and idyllic flair. Surrounded by vines and roses, Braubach is guarded by the impressive Marksburg Castle, which is enthroned highly over the old-town quarter. It is the only never destroyed hill-top castle on the central Rhine and today landmark and point of attraction at the same time.

Numerous remainders of the medieval city walls are still to be found, such as the historical church "Barbarakirche" from that 13th Century, whose tower was a corner attachment of the city wall. Also worth seeing the chapel "Martinskapelle" from that 11th Century. Here one will find the last home of the famous chamber singer Heinrich Schlusnus (1888-1952), who was born in Braubach.
