Stahleck Castle
Stahleck Castle is a fortified hilltop castle above the town of Bacharach on the left bank of the Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Originally medieval, it was heavily rebuilt in the 20th century and today functions as a youth hostel occupying the restored buildings on the crag above vineyards.

As it stood in 1930
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep crag above terraced vineyards, the castle presents a compact cluster of stone buildings dominated by a tall cylindrical tower with a steep conical slate roof, smaller round and square towers, and a long multi-storey palas with a Fachwerk (half-timbered) upper storey and dormers. A stone ring wall and a visible shield wall run along the slope with a courtyard behind them; a water-filled partial moat sits at the lower approach. Walls are rough local sandstone.
