About
The Godesburg was built in the early 13th century on the Godesberg, a hill of volcanic origin. It was largely destroyed following a siege in 1583 at the start of the Cologne War. In 1891, the German emperor Wilhelm II donated the castle's ruin to the city of Bad Godesberg. In 1959, the ruin was rebuilt to house a hotel and restaurant. Today, the restaurant is still in operation, but the hotel tract has been divided into apartments. You can visit the tower ("Bergfried"), the medieval graveyard, the ruins and a chapel. The restaurant "Die Godesburg" offers a lot of delicious dinner and perfect service. You can also rent the premises like the "Rittersaal" for events.
