Arenfels Castle

Bad Hönningen, Germany

Arenfels Castle dates originally from the 13th century and was converted as Renaissance palace in the late 16th century. The castle got its current neo-Gothic appearance in 1849-1858. During the battles for Remagen Bridge in the Second World War, the building fabric was considerably damaged. Most of the war damage has been repaired today. The beautiful interiors of the castle have been restored, and the imposing cast-iron staircase from the Sayner ironworks is particularly worth seeing.Arenfels Castle, with its location in the middle of the vineyards, is a romantic venue for weddings, family celebrations and corporate events.

Lots of different things happen at the castle. The horror dinner is great, and so is the Christmas Market and the light show. Well worth a visit, but always busy, and parking can be a pain.

A review on the Accommodation. Loved it. Awesome for Families. We spent two nights here while visiting family in Bad Honningen. Epic experience staying in a castle. The location is amazing. The breakfast was too. Annetta in the kitchen, love your work. The views are really cool. The Castle oversees the Village, which covers the lower Rhine River Valley flor. Amazing to see the shipping, going up and down the Valley. And the grounds surrounding the Castle are wooded above and vineyards below. There is a great gift shop located in the building too. Local produce and art and things. Highly Recommend. .

Had the great opportunity to spend the night in the castle. It was an amazing experience and felt like we went back into medieval times. The view was fantastic and grounds were amazing. The room was modern, yet kept the ancient vibes of what a castle would look like back in the days.
