We recently had the opportunity to visit yet another amazing castle here in German with Brad's dad when he was visiting. We drove to Cochem which is about 1 hour away to visit Cochem castle. It was yet beautiful and exquisite!!
Here is a little background about Cochem castle:
Cochem Castle was assumed to be built around the year 1000 by the Palatinate Count Ezzo, son and successor to Palatinate Count, Hermann Pusilius. Years later, in 1151, King Konrad III put an end to a dispute concerning the succession by occupying the castle with troupes. Like this, he finally took control of the castle, which became an imperial fiefdom. Thus, Cochem became an imperial castle in the time when the Staufer dynasty reigned in Germany. From this time on, imperial ministers - with the title of "Lord
of the castle" - were installed to administer the castle and the surrounding properties.
