Wikipedia (

In 1868 Ravené bought the ruins of the imperial castle near Cochem on the Moselle from the Prussian domain treasury. His friend, the architect Hermann Ende, created the plans for reconstruction, which was completed in 1874-77 by Julius Carl Raschdorff, who later designed the Berlin Cathedral. Louis Jacques Ravené now became honorary citizen of the city of Cochem. He no longer experienced the complete interior of the castle. This worried later his son Louis Auguste, who then married the daughter of the architect end. The castle remained in the family until 1942 and was used as a summer residence.
