Royal Castle at Homburg Hosts Empress and Children
The German empress and her children have moved to Homburg for about two months, with the emperor planning a shorter stay. The Royal Castle, a quaint thousand-year-old site, features the 180-foot White Tower built atop former Roman foundations. Fire destroyed most of the old structure in the Thirty Years War and rebuilding occurred after 1680 under the landgraves of Hause-Homburg. A clear view of the Taunus range marks the castle grounds, with a park avenue guiding visitors to the mountain ridge.
