The castle Drachenburg is located in the Seven HIlls region in a picturesque surrounding, facing the river Rhine. It was built at the very end of the 19th century to serve as a representation house for a wealthy local banker, Mr. Sarter. Great zoned gardens, inspired by english gardening style, terraces and parks do not leave the visitor unimpressed. The turbulent 20 century left many traces in the castle- once a stilish mansion became a Nazi school and later a residence of a nouveau-riche. The castle was recently restored and offers an excellent insight in the lifestyle of the german bourgeoisie, but not only. I love to sit there on a terrace in a shadow with a glas of wine, looking at the slow flow of the Rhine river. The views are fantasic there indeed!! I 'll be happy to accompany you in this discovery trip to the 19th century castle with it's moving history
We start at the tourist cog train in Konigswinter, the oldest in Germany, it will just take us a couple of minutes and then we are there - in the exotic and pretty park of the castle. I' offer you a tour around the mansion, we'may climb the tower and we'll definitely go inside the house- of bit of imagination and we are already in Germany at the end of the 19th century. Some special wishes? Please, let me know- shall be happy to tailor the tour to your expectation!!!
