Coat-of-arms stone at Zell Castle in Zell an der Mosel (Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate). It appears to be the coat of arms of Johann von Senheim, one of the individuals involved in the construction of the castle (built between 1535 and 1542).

Liebeneck Castle is a hunting lodge situated above Osterspai in the Rhein-Lahn district (Rhineland-Palatinate). Although the small castle was originally built around 1590 for the Lords of Liebenstein, an architect from Boppard rebuilt it in the Neo-Renaissance style between 1873 and 1875.

The Säuerling Tower in Boppard (Rhein-Hunsrück district, Rhineland-Palatinate), which formed part of the town’s medieval defences, stood in the way of railway construction; as a result, it was demolished between 1906 and 1908 and rebuilt with thinner walls to the north of its original location.
