The medieval Runkel Castle, first mentioned in 1159, still defines the townscape of Runkel today.
The mighty, well-fortified towers of Runkel Castle rise suddenly and unexpectedly on rigid, vertically sloping rocks in the middle of the lovely Lahn valley. Still today an example of an early medieval defense structure, it appears impregnable to the viewer from the Lahn side.
Ancestral hall, old paintings, old furniture, weapons and equipment, vaults with a large press (the Runkeler Rote was pressed here centuries ago), torture chamber, old masonry speaking tubes, etc.

Old Lahn bridge with castle view

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful, old arch bridge over the Lahn, from which you have a great view of the castle and Runkel. Right next door there is an ice cream parlor, where you can eat a delicious ice cream.

View of Runkel Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Runkel has one of the most impressive and largest castle ruins in Hesse. For generations, the Lords of Runkel, in addition to collecting bridge tolls, were primarily concerned with family disputes and the occasional expansion of their castle. Runkel was the center of the Upper County of Wied and therefore a small princely residence.

Lahn Bridge, Villmar

Highlight • Bridge

The marble bridge in Villmar, Hesse is actually a limestone bridge over the Lahn. The bridge is primarily of local importance, but less of a national one. Nevertheless, it is one of the city's landmarks. It was originally built to give residents access to the quarries and the train station without having to take a ferry. To date, little has changed in this fact. In 1985 it was registered as a technical monument and ten years later it was extensively renovated.
