Romsthal Castle

On the way from Bad Soden-Salmünster towards the Vogelsberg, the Salztal, known as Huttengrund, opens up. It is named after the House of Hutten, which for centuries owned land in Romsthal, Eckardroth, Kerbersdorf, Wahlert, and partly in Marborn. Little is known about the history of the official residence there, located on the castle mentioned in the 14th century and collapsed in 1783. The estate probably included the castle mill, mentioned in 1757, and a building referred to as the hunter's house in 1765. This is presumably the current manor house. A lintel with the Hutten coat of arms and the year 1742 supports this conclusion. The architecturally appealing manor house is a two-story rectangular building with a half-hipped roof and dormer windows. A stair tower with a half-timbered top and a Welsche Haube (onion dome) provides access from the rear. In 1904, Bogdan Graf von Hutten-Czapski acquired the Huttischer Grund. The manor house owes its structural expansion by two window axes, the extended entrance area, and the park to him.
