Schönburg Castle Above the town of Oberwesel stands Schönburg Castle, aptly-named as “schön” means “beautiful” in German. The 19th-century German poet, Ferdinand Freiligrath, referred to it as “the most beautiful refuge of the Rhine romanticism”. Built in the 12th century, it was destroyed in 1689 (like several other castles in the area), and rebuilt in 1885.
