Wallrabenstein Castle (Ruin)

The remains of the Castle can be visited

Wallrabenstein Castle is a castle ruin in the Wallrabenstein district of the Hessian municipality of Hünstetten in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis.

Count Walram IV of Nassau-Idstein, son of Count Adolf I of Nassau-Idstein, built the castle around 1390. He died on November 7, 1393, at the age of 40, even before his son

Adolf II of Nassau-Idstein finally completed the castle in the same year. Later, he pledged it to Count Henne von Reifenberg.

From 1439, the castle was further enfeoffed and used as a retirement residence. A cellar bill from 1549 proves that it was still inhabited and in good condition at that time.
