For eight centuries, Godesburg Castle, or more precisely its 39 metre high keep, has towered over the Rhine Valley, albeit only for three centuries in all its beauty. Construction began in 1210 and Godesburg Castle was destroyed in 1583 during the Truchsess War. In 1891, Kaiser Wilhelm II donated the ruins to the municipality of Godesberg, which established a restaurant in historicising style in 1896. In 1960, a hotel and the restaurant that still exists today were built according to plans by Gottfried Böhm. In 2006, the city of Bonn renovated the keep and a small permanent exhibition provides information about the history of the castle.
