Rheinstein Castle

Also called Falkenburg, Rheinstein is a stunning example of neo-Gothic reconstruction.
Its collection of porcelain, furniture and weapons spans five centuries.
As we floated along seeing all these castles our cruise director gave a little history on each castle.
We were also given a sheet with photos and information on each castle.

it looks a classic in profile...a smart comp, and the telephoto compression is effective in hinting at the power within those crenellated walls..

Super shot. The steps really stand out against the dull sky. V

beautiful shot at this splendid castle and towers!

Wow, impressive. I wonder what that hanging basket is for! A fire? A place to hang criminals in the medieval times? ... built eons back and still perfectly straight and square. Beautiful shot
