Marksburg is one of the most celebrated castles on the Rhine, and for a very particular reason: of the many fortresses that once guarded the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, it is the only hilltop castle never to have been destroyed. Standing on a steep cone of rock some 150 metres above the little town of Braubach, on the river’s right bank between Koblenz and the Loreley, it survived even the French campaigns of the late 17th century that reduced most of its neighbours to picturesque ruins. Begun around 1100 and expanded through the Gothic centuries, it preserves a complete medieval layout of towers, halls, gates and gun batteries, and since 1900 it has served as the seat of the German Castles Association (Deutsche Burgenvereinigung). Together with the rest of the Rhine Gorge, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qu'il faut voir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because it can be visited only on a guided tour, Marksburg offers an unusually vivid walk through a genuine medieval fortress. The route climbs from the outer gates up the steep \u201cRider’s Stairway,\u201d cut in places straight into the bare rock, and passes through a sequence of defensive gateways to the great keep (Bergfried) that crowns the summit. Inside, visitors see the Gothic hall, the chapel set in its tower, the smoke-blackened medieval kitchen with its huge hearth, the wine cellar and the bedchamber, all furnished to evoke daily life in the Middle Ages. One of the most memorable rooms holds a collection of historic armour tracing the warrior’s harness across many centuries, while the battery terrace bristles with old bronze and iron cannon. From the ramparts and the little garden of medicinal herbs there are magnificent views up and down the Rhine and over Braubach’s slate roofs far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment s'y rendre et informations pratiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marksburg domine Braubach sur la rive droite du Rhin, \u00e0 environ 13 kilom\u00e8tres en amont de Coblence. Braubach poss\u00e8de sa propre gare sur la pittoresque ligne de chemin de fer de la rive droite du Rhin, desservie par des trains r\u00e9gionaux en provenance de Coblence (environ 15 minutes de trajet). De l\u00e0, une randonn\u00e9e balis\u00e9e en mont\u00e9e d'environ 20 \u00e0 30 minutes m\u00e8ne au ch\u00e2teau, ou bien un court trajet en voiture jusqu'au parking situ\u00e9 juste en contrebas des grilles est possible. Aux beaux jours, la ville est \u00e9galement accessible par bateau d'excursion sur le Rhin. Le ch\u00e2teau est ouvert tous les jours de l'ann\u00e9e pour des visites guid\u00e9es, avec des visites en anglais \u00e0 heures fixes en haute saison. Une taverne se trouve \u00e0 l'entr\u00e9e du ch\u00e2teau. Les all\u00e9es et les escaliers int\u00e9rieurs \u00e9tant escarp\u00e9s et irr\u00e9guliers, le port de chaussures robustes est recommand\u00e9 et l'int\u00e9rieur n'est pas adapt\u00e9 aux personnes \u00e0 mobilit\u00e9 r\u00e9duite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
