Castles

Disclaimer: except for the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress above, the photos on this page were taken last fall on another Grand Circle tour and are on this website.



Our next port was Koblenz, which is at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel. At the German Corner (Deutches Eck) stands this imposing statue of Kaiser Wilhelm.

A walking tour of the city led us to the Church of Our Lady, which has Romanesque towers from 1170, a Gothic sanctuary from 1430 and baroque spires.

The interior of the Church of Our Lady.

The Max and Moritz Grill, named after characters in a childhood story.

The citizens of Koblenz show a sense of humor in a number of statues in the city. Here is a policeman with a woman selling vegetables.

Two of the many half-timbered buildings in the city center.

St. Castor's Basilica, a predominantly Romanesque structure from 1160 to 1208.
