Schloss Altenkirchen, Castle in Altenkirchen (Westerwald), Germany
The castle complex consisted of five wings, including stables, prison cells, guest rooms, blacksmith workshops, and residential quarters for nobility.
First constructed as a fortress in 1314, the structure was transformed into a castle in 1586 on the foundations of the original fortification.
The Sayn counts used this castle as their secondary residence and traveling accommodation, maintaining administrative functions for the region.
The castle deteriorated over time and was demolished in 1862, with its location now serving as the Schlossplatz for city events.
The castle incorporated a direct passage to the adjacent church and included a dedicated wing that functioned as a mint facility.
