Where: Bingen am Rhein

Hours and prices not verified at the source yet.

Burg Klopp stands in Bingen am Rhein (Landkreis Mainz-Bingen), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Klopp Castle rises above the town of Bingen am Rhein on a hill that once controlled river traffic on the Rhine. What visitors see today is not the medieval fortress but a 19th-century rebuilding, combining a neo-Gothic building that now houses the town's administration with a keep converted into a viewing tower. Some medieval remains survive nonetheless: the base of the keep, the moat and part of the southern curtain wall. The site lies within the protected Upper Middle Rhine Valley landscape, between the Mouse Tower and Ehrenfels Castle on the opposite bank.

What to know

The keep, about 37.5 metres high, can be climbed as a viewing tower, but only during summer daytime hours.
The large neo-Gothic building houses Bingen's town administration, including the mayor's office, and is not open to visitors as a heritage site.
The castle sits on a hill above the town, so reaching it involves a walk uphill from the centre.
Klopp Castle forms part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage landscape, listed since 2002.
No confirmed opening hours, admission fees or accessibility details are available, so checking locally beforehand is advisable.
