Katz Castle
Katz Castle (Burg Katz) is a medieval fortress perched on a rocky ledge above Sankt Goarshausen in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Built in the late 14th century, it features a compact layout dominated by a great hall and a massive cylindrical bergfried; it was damaged in 1806 and rebuilt in the late 19th century, and is now privately owned.

As it stood in 1435
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep, wooded riverside ledge, the castle presents a compact stone block with a crenellated curtain wall facing downstream, three conical-roofed round towers on the riverward façade, and a very large cylindrical bergfried set on the uphill side. Warm-brown ashlar masonry contrasts with grey slate roofs and white-framed windows. Terraced retaining walls and a small lower round tower step down the slope; at prime the walls, towers and bergfried are complete and defensive.
