Schloss Johannisberg is a prominent landmark in the Rheingau wine region with a rich history dating back to the 9th century. Originally founded as a Benedictine abbey in 817 AD, it transitioned to secular ownership in the early 19th century following dissolution during the Napoleonic Wars. Throughout its history, it has been associated with significant historical figures and events; notably, it was the site where Prince Klemens von Metternich hosted negotiations leading to the Final Act of the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
