As it stood in 1219
What Fürstenberg Castle looked like in its prime.
Perched on a steep vineyard-covered hill, the castle is dominated by a single tall cylindrical stone keep with a crenellated parapet. A circuit of curtain walls and shorter tower remnants step down the hillside; masonry is largely local grey-brown sandstone with patched lighter render in places. The complex sits directly above terraced rows of vines and is approached from the slope below; at its prime the keep and curtain walls would have formed a continuous fortified silhouette against the sky.
Its story
The story of Fürstenberg Castle.
Fürstenberg was built in 1219 on the heights above Rheindiebach — then a village within the small parish of Oberdiebach, in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate — a hilltop castle set above the Rhine.
The site survives as a partial ruin dominated by its tall cylindrical keep, with fragments of the surrounding curtain walls standing on the steep, vineyard-covered slope above the river.
