The castle in Boppard is one of the bulky defensive buildings at the Middle Rhine. It was built by Balduin the archbishop of Trier as a stronhold after he had conquered the town in 1327. The keep with holes of cast iron originates from the building of establishments, the four wings around the yard from that 17th Century.
The castle accommodates a museum of local history, forest and wood, which shows in particular the development of the well-known Thonet chairs. The Roman fort of Boppard, rectangular with round towers, shows the most obtained fort walls of Germany. They were partly used in the Middle Ages for the city attachment. The piece of wall with towers close to the castle is very impressive, a further one is in the west (archaeological park).
