Schloss Drachenburg is situated near the top of the Drachenfels mountain near Königswinter. This is a large Gothic fantasy castle, built from 1182-4 for the Baron Stephan von Sarter. He never actually lived here, and after his death the building was then used for various purposes. It has recently been restored to show the rooms in their original state, as well as various works of art. The original 13th century castle has been a ruin since the Thirty Years’ War, and is located nearby. The terraces and gardens offer spectacular views over the surroundings – often as far as Cologne. There is an entrance fee.
