Castle on the River Rhine Mouse Mat

Castle on the River Rhine is an oil painting on canvas of a real existing castle on the river Rhine, Germany. The original Castle, perched prominently on a hill above the Rhine River, served to collect tolls from passing ships. The castle has a long and colourful history. Imperial Castles are more than just common castles! The old walls, which throne majestically over the River valley, are an invitation for every history and culture enthusiast to enjoy a beautiful afternoon in one of the highest hill castles on the river. Soaring over historical villages on a mighty crag, the castle charms the eye with its delicate bays and imposing battlements. The mediaeval castle was lovingly restored in the neo-gothic style associated with German castle romanticism in the 19th century. The Rhine Valley is storybook Germany, a fairy-tale world of legends and robber-baron castles. I invite you to visit the most castle-studded stretch of the romantic Rhine and listen for the song of the treacherous Loreley.
