Schloss Dhaun

The castle stands high above the Kellenbach valley, featuring a horseshoe-shaped structure with multiple wings and an extensive underground passage system.

First documented in 1215 as castrum de Dune, the fortress underwent major transformations in 1729 when Waldgrave Karl von Dhaun converted it into a residential palace.

The Romantic Garden Festival takes place annually during the second weekend of May, gathering gardening specialists and enthusiasts in the castle gardens.

Visitors can explore the 10,000 square meter park daily between 09:00 and 19:00, with guided tours available through the tourist information office.

The castle maintains an intricate network of underground passages that extends throughout the grounds, demonstrating medieval architectural engineering techniques.
