Marksburg Castle, Braubach

A medieval castle that survived WW2 essentially intact, making it one of the gems of the Rhine Valley.

I have no idea in what order these photos will post, but two fun comments:

- The castle water supply wasn't potable, so soldiers were given a daily allotment of wine...one 10-liter tankard full. Chug!

- Notice the doorway has been shrunk. They did that out of a fear of easier attack, once they relocated the horse stables to another part of the castle complex.
