The view from below is worth seeing. However, it is not worth going up because the castle can only be viewed from the outside.

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.
