Hüttelngesäß Castle (Ruin) (Niedersteinbach)

Hüttelngesäß Castle was once located in the Main-Kinzig district in the Hessian Spessart, between Niedersteinbach and Geiselbach.

The ruins of the moated castle, first mentioned in writing in 1131, now belong to the 250-year-old Hüttelngesäß Forest Estate. In 1403, Archbishop Johann II of Nassau had the right of access to Hüttelngesäß Castle granted. From there, together with Mömbris Castle, often mistakenly referred to as Womburg, and Hauenstein Castle, the area of the upper Kahl and Lohr, which was under Rieneck's influence, was secured. Two years later, on February 22, 1405, the castle burned down in the Wetterau Robber War.

In 1510, the County of Hanau bought the castle ruins as "a dilapidated wall" with the associated meadows and forests. It was not rebuilt. Parts of the outbuilding and the surrounding wall, as well as remains of the residential tower, have been preserved.

Since 1754, the ruins and the adjacent forest estate have been owned by the von Savigny family.
