Brömserburg stands in Rüdesheim am Rhein (Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Brömserburg stands close to the Rhine at Rüdesheim and ranks among the oldest fortified structures along this stretch of the river, now part of a World Heritage site. Its solid, block like form, with round arched window openings, dates from two medieval building phases, one before 1200 and a second completed at the end of the 12th century. The central keep, damaged when French troops besieged the castle in 1640, was rebuilt to a height of 27 metres in 1969.
