ROLANDSECK

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 465 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROLANDSECK , a
village
  of Germany, in the Prussian Rhine province, delightfully situated on the left bank of the Rhine, 8 m. above
Bonn
 , with a station on the railway Cologne-Coblenz. The
place
  consists almost entirely of villas and is a favourite 'summer resort. Crowning the vine-clad hills behind it lie the ruins of the
castle
 , a picturesque ivy-covered
arch
 , whence a fine view is obtained of the Siebengebirge and the Rhine valley as far as
Bonn
 . Immediately below Rolandseck in mid-river is the
island
  of Nonnenwerth, on which is a nursing school under the conduct of Franciscan nuns, established in 185o. The convent which formerly stood here was founded in 1122 and secularized in 1802. Tradition assigns the
foundation
  of the
castle
  of Rolandseck to Charlemagne's paladin, Roland. It was certainly built at a very early date, as it was restored by Frederick, archbishop of Cologne, in 1120, and it was a fortress until the end of the 15th
century
 .
