Burghotel auf Schönburg
This romantic hotel is located high up in the 1.000 year old Castle with a view over the Rhinevallay and the medieval town of Oberwesel.
History and modern comfort combine here in harmonious connection. Enchanting rooms with four poster beds, stylish bathrooms and lovingly added details invite the guest to have a highly enjoyable stay.
Gourmet menus are offered either in the cosy restaurant or if the weather permits on the Rhine terrace. The castle was first mentioned in 1149, however it is to be assumed that the building was established a good deal earlier.
In the 14th century about 250 descendants from the House of Schoenburg lived in the Ganerben Castle at the same time, since all the sons of the burgrave were entitled to inherit.
The last of the Schoenburgs acquired much fame, as a French general in the 17th century, before the castle was burned down in 1689 by the troops of Ludwig XIV. In 1885 the influential German American banker Rhinelan der, restored large parts of the castle. Since 1957 the Huettl family has owned the estate. Since then the restorations were continued and a castle hotel was established.
