-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Rheinstein castle in Rhineland-Palatinate dates back to the 14th century. The medieval castle did not last long though - some 300 years later it was a ruin.

But 2 centuries passed and it was spotted by Prussian prince Frederick - the one whose uncle was king Frederick Wilhelm III. The man fell in love with a beautiful spot - a castle on a rock overlooking the Rhine. It was the first ruined medieval burg on the Rhine to be restored in the Romantic style!

He ordered it rebuilt in a trendy romantic manner to make it a fairy tale medieval looking gothic revival residence. Once the works were finished he moved there and did not want anything else.

It is here that he received Empress of Russia Alexandra Feodorovna who was originally his cousin Charlotte of Prussia before marrying Russian emperor Nicholas I, and Queen Victoria and other high-profile guests.
