Gemünden Castle
The Castle+
The castle is located in the west of the old town center of "Gemünden an der Straße". It was built at the beginning of the 13th century. The builders of the castle were the Counts of Ziegenhain. In 1450, it came into the possession of the Landgraves of Hesse along with the County of Ziegenhain. After several destructions, the last reconstruction took place in 1648. It was expanded several times thereafter. Between 1985 and 1995, the square complex with a rounded corner in the southwest was extensively restored. Today, the castle is privately owned.
