Wasserburg Hainhausen, Medieval castle remains in Hainhausen, Germany.

Archaeological excavations revealed a circular foundation measuring 11 meters in diameter with walls reaching 2.25 meters in thickness at the castle site.

The castle, established before 1108, functioned as the primary residence for the lords of Eppstein until its abandonment in the 14th century.

Archaeological discoveries at the site include glass window fragments, tile flooring, and hunting materials, indicating the presence of noble inhabitants.

The castle foundations lie beneath the ground near Burgstraße in Hainhausen, surrounded by the Rodau, Mühl, and Wallgraben waterways.

Dendrochronological analysis of oak posts discovered during excavations dates the wooden structures to the mid-12th century.
