Schloss Steinheim, Medieval château in Hanau-Steinheim, Germany
The castle stands on an elevated ridge above the Main River valley, featuring preserved walls and a central tower from medieval times.
First documented in 1222 as 'castrum Steinheim', the castle passed through Eppstein lords before being sold to the Mainz Archbishopric in 1425.
The castle now functions as part of the Städtische Museen Hanau, displaying regional artifacts and documenting the area's historical development.
Museum visitors can climb the preserved medieval tower and explore exhibitions about regional prehistory and early history through guided tours.
During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops occupied the castle, leading to multiple ownership changes that influenced its current structure.
