Step back through history to the medieval times of cut-throat deceptions and power politics when you visit this hilltop castle that overlooks the Rhine. 

This forested estate contains monumental houses, a tearoom, playgrounds, canals and ponds filled with birds, an old Dutch garden and a fine Japanese garden.
