St. Michaels Church in Hamburg
Price: $27.00St. Michaels Church is the most famous landmark of the city of Hamburg. Built between 1751 and 1786, this Protestant church is an outstanding example of Neoclassical architecture. The 132 m tower has always been a striking eye-catcher and time indicator - you could practically see him from any point in the city. Presumably in the design was exactly this, and not implementing harmoniously balanced proportions, the main concern. Because in relation to the relatively small nave, the tower is actually too high. But perhaps this makes the special charm of the 'Hamburger Michel'. A fire in 1906 and the bombs of World War II destroyed the church almost completely. After its careful reconstruction it sits again proud above the port on the river Elbe. Learn More -

Castle Rheinstein
Price: $21.00With its romantic gardens and terraces it is situated near Assmannshausen on a rocky outcrop, 90 m above the Rhine. From there you can enjoy a picturesque view of the river. Inside the carefully and elaborately restored castle glass paintings can be admired from the 14th to 19th centuries. There are also wonderful wall and ceiling frescoes with ornate Gothic frieze from the 19th century. The castle contains a large number of antique furniture from the 17th and 19th century and original armor from the 15th century . Next to the castle is a neo-Gothic chapel with the only Prussian tomb on the Middle Rhine. Built in the late 13th century by the Mainz archbishopric as Zollburg, the purpose was to protect the area against robber barons. From the 17th century the castle fell into disrepair until it was acquired in 1823 by Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia as a ruin. He had the castle rebuilt by Schinkel. In 1975 the opera singer Hermann Hecher bought the Castle from the famliy of Hohenzollern. Learn More -
