Pfalzgrafenstein Castle, Germany - a photo on Flickriver

            Of all the castles found along the Rhine, Pfalzgrafenstein Castle must be one of the most picturesque. Perched on the island of Pflaz, it is recognisable by its white walls, red brickwork and black pentagonal tower. Built in 1327 by King Ludwig the Bavarian, much of Pflazgrafenstein Castle still dates back to this time, although some modernisation took place in the early 17th Century and mid-18th Century – and flood and ice damage has meant regular masonry and foundation repairs. The castle, however, has never been conquered or destroyed.

Interestingly, although Pflazgrafenstein was a toll castle, ships were unable to dock there, so the job of the officials was to spy on passing vessels and act as trumpeter, alerting the nearby customs office in Kaub.
