Rudelsburg and Saaleck, Bad Kösen

Above the Saale at Bad Kösen, two rival castles face each other across the valley a few hundred metres apart: the better-preserved Rudelsburg, with its square Romanesque keep crowned by a stone pyramid spire, and the ruined Saaleck, known for its two round keeps, opened in 1969 as East Germany’s showcase tower.

About this artwork

Above the Saale at Bad Kösen, two rival castles face each other across the valley a few hundred metres apart: the better-preserved Rudelsburg, with its square Romanesque keep crowned by a stone pyramid spire, and the ruined Saaleck, known for its two round keeps. Both rise some 85 metres over the river on shell-limestone ridges and became icons of the romantic Saale valley.
