Reichsburg Cochem

About

The Imperial Castle of Cochem proudly stands on a basalt outcrop overlooking the Moselle River, combining medieval charm with neo‑Gothic elegance. Visitors can explore its richly preserved interiors—such as the Knight’s Hall, dining chamber, and the tower—through immersive guided tours available in several languages. The castle’s yearly highlight is the Knight’s Feast, a four‑hour medieval banquet featuring live music, authentic costumes, and storytelling. Whether you’re a history lover, a family on vacation, or a couple seeking a romantic outing, the castle offers a unique window into 19th‑century romanticism and 15th‑century military traditions. The guided tours run daily during the summer season from 09:30 am to 05:00 pm, and in winter from 10:00 am to 03:00 pm, with special festival timings. Tickets can be purchased online via the castle’s shop or onsite at the souvenir shop. Advance registration is required for popular events such as the Knight’s Feast, while regular guided tours can be booked on the day. A ride on the castle shuttle or a stroll from Cochem’s town center offers spectacular views, making Reichsburg Cochem a must‑visit landmark for travelers seeking culture, adventure, and a taste of German medieval heritage.
