Hachenburg, Medieval castle town in Westerwaldkreis, Germany
Hachenburg sits on a hill at 350 meters elevation, surrounded by dense forests and green valleys of the Westerwald region.
Count Heinrich II of Sayn established Hachenburg Castle in 1180, with the structure reaching completion in 1212 as a strategic fortification.
The Landschaftsmuseum Westerwald exhibits regional artifacts and documents the evolution of local traditions through interactive displays and collections.
The Oberwesterwaldbahn railway connects Hachenburg directly to major cities like Cologne and Frankfurt, with regular service throughout the day.
The castle underwent transformation between 1715 and 1746 to become a Baroque structure, now serving as a training center for Deutsche Bundesbank.
