A restored castle at Cochem

This castle at Cochem, Germany, was restored in the 1970's by a wealthy businessman who wanted people to know what it would have looked like in the Middle Ages.  Most of the German castles are in ruins either having been bombed during the war or simply destroyed by time.  This one has been meticulously restored.  We toured the inside of the castle which sits on top of a hill looking over the delightful town of Cochem.
