Waldmannshausen Castle, Medieval castle in Elbtal, Germany.

The three-story stone castle features round towers with conical roofs at two corners and a central staircase tower on its longer side.

Built between 1486 and 1488 by Thebus of Waldmannshausen, the castle fell into ruins in the 17th century before its restoration in 1786.

The castle represents Late Gothic architectural design and stands as a protected cultural heritage monument in the Limburg-Weilburg region of Hesse.

Located 18 kilometers north of Limburg an der Lahn, the castle operates as an educational facility called Schullandheim since 1935.

The castle forms a combined property with an adjacent schloss from 1790 and includes the original princely stable block known as Marstall.
