Tips from the Community

Gudi
May 18, 2026, View of Katz Castle

Whether you are in St. Goar, St. Goarshausen or on the ship on the Rhine. Burg Katz can be seen from everywhere and is a popular photo motif.

Behind the Loreley rock, which the Rhine encircles in a wide bend, lies the ruin of Katz Castle on a mountain spur shifting against the current. Little has been preserved of its original form: the tower lies in ruins, the ring walls have crumbled, and the still-standing rooms have undergone a violent transformation to become habitable; towards the Rhine, a glass veranda even had to be inserted into the age-grey walls.

The town is the administrative seat of the Loreley municipality and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002. Loreley was long a district town – from 1886 of the district and from 1939 of the Sankt Goarshausen district, and from 1961 to 1969 of the Loreley district – and is designated as a medium-sized center in the state's regional planning.

Unfortunately, no visits are possible as the castle is privately owned.
