Historische Stadtmauer Bacharach

Historische Stadtmauer Bacharach is a fascinating monument of medieval defensive architecture on the Rhine. Although most of the walls have been demolished, the layout of the town still reflects the old defensive system with its distinctive 'spider's web' street layout designed to confuse invaders.

As you explore this historic site, you'll discover the hilltop Burg Stahleck castle, the ruins of the Wernerkapelle chapel and the charming center with its half-timbered houses. The Postenturm defense tower offers panoramic views of the town and surrounding vineyards.
