Schloss Plausdorf

The three-story masonry building features a slate-covered roof, an east tower from 1583, and numerous outbuildings constructed in historicist style.

First mentioned in 1463 as a mill and farm, the manor house was built in 1565 under Peter von Schwalbach, who received the Plausdorf estate.

Between 1701 and 1728, the property stood directly on the border between Mainz and Hesse, with the manor house positioned on the Mainz side.

The privately owned castle remains closed to public access, though visitors can observe its exterior architecture and surrounding five-hectare park.

The Klein River flows through the northwestern part of the grounds, feeding the estate's mill race that connects to a 16th-century water mill.
