Burg Katz
Sight /
Katz Castle, also known as Neu-Katzenelnbogen Castle, sits high above the Rhine near St. Goarshausen. It was built around 1360 to 1371 by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen and initially served as a customs castle and to protect the town of St. Goarshausen. The castle was also intended to secure the connection to the Katzenelnbog hinterland and serve as a counterweight to Maus Castle in Kurtrier. The castle received the name “Katz” from the local people, who named it after a comment by Wilhelm, Count von Katzenelnbogen. The castle is part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been privately owned since 1989. Unfortunately it cannot be visited. The castle has been used for a variety of purposes in the past, including as a recreation center and training camp.
