Burg in Hayn, Medieval castle ruins in Obertshausen, Germany
The castle remains include stone fragments and wall remnants surrounding an area of 28 by 31 meters with walls measuring 2.20 meters in thickness.
The castle transferred to Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz in 1124, and later in 1173, the jurisdiction rights went to the Lords of Eppstein.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 1964 and 1974 revealed the castle's original layout, featuring a central tower surrounded by a water-filled moat.
The castle site presents limited preserved structures due to its past use as a quarry and agricultural activities continuing into the 1930s.
The first documented mention of Burg im Hayn appears in the Steinheimer land registry of 1576, connecting it to local property ownership.
