HISTORY OF THE PILGRIMAGE CHURCH Around the year 1400, a knight named Johannes Brömser von Rüdesheim lived. He had inherited the Sterrenberg Castle above Bornhofen. By now he had built two churches: the parish church of Rüdesheim and the pilgrimage church “Noth Gottes” near Rüdesheim. Now he also began in Bornhofen, at the foot of his newly acquired castle, to build a church by extending the already existing church. He died in 1416. The construction of the church was continued after his death until its completion (1435). Thus the present-day pilgrimage church came into being.

The name Loreley-Felsen originated from the myths and legends of, among others, Clemens Brentano, who wrote a romantic ballad named Loreley. In a 19th-century legend, it is told that the blonde beauty Loreley enchanted the skippers on the Rhine with her singing from the rock, and therefore, despite the dangerous current, they no longer paid attention to their course and the ships crashed against the rock reefs.

The Loreley is a slate rock formation and is located in the UNESCO World Heritage site Upper Middle Rhine Valley south of Sankt Goarshausen on the eastern right bank of the Rhine at river kilometer 555. With its height of 132 meters (193.14 m above sea level), it towers high on the inside of the Rhine bend, but also has shallows up to 100 meters in the middle of the river. This makes this section of the river one of the most dangerous on the Rhine.

Located in the beautiful Middle Rhine Valley, very close to the famous Loreley rock, the Rheinfels Castle ruins today attract guests from near and far with their picturesque setting. Previously, the fortress was considered one of the safest and most impregnable castles in Germany.
