"Pay please here"
The castle Pfalzgrafenstein, also called the Pfalz near Kaub, is a toll castle built on a rock island in the Rhine near Kaub. Its oldest part is the tower, which Ludwig the Bavarian, Count Palatine of the Rhine and later Roman-German king and emperor, had built in 1326. The building had the task of overseeing the collection of the ship toll at the toll station located on the right bank of the Rhine opposite in Kaub. Because of this purpose, the island castle – unlike other castles on the Middle Rhine – did not serve as a residence.

"Zahlen Sie bitte hier"
Die Burg Pfalzgrafenstein, auch die Pfalz bei Kaub genannt, ist eine auf einer Felseninsel im Rhein bei Kaub errichtete Zollburg. Ihr ältester Teil ist der Turm, den Ludwig der Bayer, Pfalzgraf bei Rhein und späterer römisch-deutscher König und Kaiser, 1326 errichten ließ. Das Bauwerk hatte die Aufgabe, die Einnahme des Schiffszolls in der rechts-rheinisch gegenüber gelegenen Zahlstelle in Kaub zu überwachen. Wegen dieser Zweckbestimmung diente die Inselburg – anders als andere Burgen am Mittelrhein – nicht als Wohnstatt.
