Built in 1327 established by Ludwig the Bavarian, the Pfalzgrafenstein at Kaub served as a toll castle until 1866.
In the winter 1813/14 the castle moved into the focus of European history. Here the Rhine crossing, which introduced the fall Napoleons, succeeded to
the Prussian general field marshal Blücher with his army.
About this act tells the Blüchermuseum in Kaub, which one should absolutely visit.
Also the ferry-trip to the never destroyed castle on the Rhine island is a great experience. Arrived there you can pay a guided visit to the world of toll collectors and traders of past centuries.
