Castle Wertheim

Wertheim, Germany

Once the domicile of the Counts of Wertheim the castle (extended during 15th to 17th centuries)
is one of the most picturesque ruins in Germany with a deep moat and impressive bulwark.
In 1618 the castle was partly destroyed by an explosion; during the Thirty Years' War in 1634 and 1647 it was under heavy fire.
Today the castle is owned by the Community of Wertheim growing into a more and more attractive setting for cultural events.

My favorite part of our trip up the Rhine was see these old castles. This one was not one of them but I would love to visit it sometime in the future. V

Photographed in magical light. What a great place for community events, paradoxical given its lordly beginnings.
