Even on my last tour, the mill with the small chapel looked abandoned, but now there is also a "For Sale" sign next to it. A real shame, by the way, for these historic buildings in a fantastic natural landscape.

HISTORY OF THE PILGRIMAGE CHURCH Around the year 1400, a knight named Johannes Brömser von Rüdesheim lived. He had inherited the Sterrenberg Castle above Bornhofen. By now he had built two churches: the parish church of Rüdesheim and the pilgrimage church “Noth Gottes” near Rüdesheim. Now he also began in Bornhofen, at the foot of his newly acquired castle, to build a church by extending the already existing church. He died in 1416. The construction of the church was continued after his death until its completion (1435). Thus the present-day pilgrimage church came into being.

Located in the beautiful Middle Rhine Valley, very close to the famous Loreley rock, the Rheinfels Castle ruins today attract guests from near and far with their picturesque setting. Previously, the fortress was considered one of the safest and most impregnable castles in Germany.

Great hiking trail through the gorge, adventurous over stones, bridges and rope-secured climbing sections. Very rustic and natural landscape with a few waterfalls.
