Photographic stereoslide of Sooneck (Sonneck) Castle features in this stereo card. The castle overlooks the River Rhine and can only be reached by foot. The initial construction dates back to the year 1000 and the time of bishop Willegis of Mainz. It had, however, fallen into ruins by 1689. Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia acquired it in 1834 and had it rebuilt in pseudo-Gothic style as with the castles of Rheinstein and Stolzenfels. It is impressively situated, perched high over the "Soonecker Grund".
