Schloss Wehen, Cultural heritage castle in Wehen, Germany
Schloss Wehen is a cultural monument consisting of a rectangular manor house with a mansard roof in Taunusstein-Wehen. The building displays an elaborate architectural design featuring an external double staircase that emphasizes the entrance.
The castle was founded in 1330 by Count Gerlach of Nassau-Weilburg and underwent major rebuilding between 1596 and 1611. After destruction during the Thirty Years' War, the site was transformed into a Baroque house around the middle of the 18th century.
The castle now serves as a museum where visitors can explore exhibitions about the region's past and its people. The collections display objects and stories connected to the Hessian area and how people lived there.
The castle is located in Wehen, a district of Taunusstein, and is accessible to visitors as a museum. You can reach it on foot by walking through the town's streets, and it is best to check opening hours in advance.
The building remained severely damaged for a long time before being restored and opened to the public as a museum. This recovery preserved the structure while bringing regional stories and knowledge back to life.
