Sterrenberg and Liebenstein castles, nestled closely together along the Rhine River, create a striking and historically rich landscape. These "enemy brothers," as they are known due to a legendary rivalry, offer a glimpse into medieval fortification. Sterrenberg, the older of the two, boasts a formidable keep and impressive shield walls, particularly those facing Liebenstein, which stand as testaments to past conflicts. Liebenstein, while slightly younger, maintains its own distinct character, and together, the two castles evoke the romantic and often turbulent history of the Middle Rhine Valley. Their proximity, coupled with the legends surrounding them, makes them a captivating destination for those interested in medieval European history.
