The Palace of Stolzenfels, on the Rhine, 1845. Creator: Ebenezer Landells
The Palace of Stolzenfels, on the Rhine, 1845. Stolzenfels [near Koblenz in Germany] is much resorted to, on account of the fine view which it commands. It is placed on a jutting rock, looking over the Rhine and the little village of Kapellen, and nearly opposite the confluence of the Lahn. Its picturesque outline and commanding position seem to justify its name of the Proud Rock, and render it one of the most imposing feudal ruins on the Rhine...It was purchased fori the present King of Prussia some years ago, for a trifling sum, and he has restored it...It is beautifully situated, on a thick-wooded height, which slopes beneath to the river.... From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

The Palace of Stolzenfels - A Majestic Gem on the Rhine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, captured in 1845 by Ebenezer Landells, showcases the breathtaking beauty of The Palace of Stolzenfels. Nestled near Koblenz in Germany, this magnificent palace stands proudly on a jutting rock, offering an unrivaled view of the Rhine River and the quaint village of Kapellen. With its picturesque outline and commanding position, it's no wonder that Stolzenfels earned its name as "The Proud Rock". This imposing feudal ruin is regarded as one of the most awe-inspiring castles along the Rhine. Once left to decay, it was purchased for a nominal sum by the present King of Prussia who undertook extensive restoration work. Situated amidst thick woodlands that gracefully slope towards the river below, The Palace of Stolzenfels exudes timeless charm. Its grandeur is further enhanced by its strategic location opposite the confluence of the Lahn River. Ebenezer Landells' engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail and architectural marvels that adorn this historical gem. Published in "Illustrated London News" during Britain's Victorian era, this print serves as a testament to Landells' talent and his ability to transport viewers back in time through his artistry. Today, The Palace of Stolzenfels continues to attract tourists from all corners of the globe who seek solace in its rich history and unparalleled views. It remains an enduring symbol not only for German heritage but also for mankind's fascination with ancient fortifications nestled within nature's embrace.
