A very interesting castle ruin. Its construction began between 1310 and 1320. In 1332, Ludwig III took up residence in the castle and from then on called himself Walpode von der Neuerburg, Lord of Reichenstein. In 1523, the castle came into the possession of the Counts of Wied, who had it destroyed in 1618 after it had already fallen into considerable disrepair. Today, the Reichenstein castle ruins are privately owned and therefore not normally open to the public. Those wishing to visit the castle can book a guided tour through the local support association (by telephone). Additionally, the castle ruins are opened to the public on certain dates (during the summer). These dates are announced online by the support association.

The Evangelical Church of Birnbach in the Altenkirchen district of Rhineland-Palatinate is one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the Westerwald. The first documented mention dates back to 1131. (Wikipedia) Very beautiful old church, which is also beautifully situated.

Beautiful, shady location at the confluence of the Almersbach and Wied, bench nearby. People have been making pilgrimages here since the 13th century through a ford. The beautifully situated Almersbach church with late Romanesque origins stands enthroned above.
