This is actually Thurnberg Castle. It is located on the right bank of the Rhine. The "Burg Katz" by the Count of Katzenelnbogen is located above the river. He mockingly called her the "mouse".
During the season, dates for castle tours are offered by Loreley Touristik. The Rheinsteig also leads past it.

The castle stands over one of the most beautiful sections of the Rhine.

The castle was planned and started from 1353 to 1357 by Archbishop Boemund II of Trier under the name St. Peterseck and completed under his successors Kuno II von Falkenstein and Werner von Falkenstein (1362 to 1388). It served the last two church princes as a residence for a time. Originally, another electoral Trier castle called St. Petersberg was supposed to be built nearby to counter the two castles of the Katzenelnbogen (Katz Castle) and Rheinfels. In the end, however, it remained with the sole construction of Peterseck Castle.
