The Marksburg is a castle near the Braubach plate in Rhineland-Palts. It is the only medieval castle in the Mittelrhein that has never been destroyed. The Mittelrhein region has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2002.

The castle was built around 1117 to protect the town of Braubach. The first mention of the castle dates back to 1231. In 1283 Count Eberhard van Katzenelnbogen bought the castle and in the 14th and 15th centuries the castle was constantly rebuilt. In 1479 the territories of the Count of Katzenelnbogen fell to the Count of Hesse.

In Napoleonic times, the Marksburg was used as a prison. In 1815 it came into the possession of the Duchy of Nassau. After the German war in 1866, the Duchy of Nassau became part of Prussia.

Finally in 1900 it was sold to the German Castle Association for the symbolic amount of 1000 Goldmark. This association had been founded a year earlier as a private initiative to preserve castles in Germany for posterity. Since 1931, the Marksburg has been the headquarters of this organization.

In March 1945, the castle was heavily damaged by American artillery.
