Pyrmont Castle, Medieval castle in Roes, Germany

The stone fortress rises above the Elzbach River on a slate rock formation, featuring an 800-year-old tower keep and multiple architectural elements from different periods.

Built at the end of the 12th century by Cuno von Schönburg, the castle underwent major changes when the Waldbott family acquired it in 1710 and added large windows.

The castle functions as a meeting center and hosts numerous wedding celebrations throughout the year, continuing its legacy as a gathering place for social events.

Visitors can reach the castle via a dedicated bus service operating from Treis-Karden between May and October on weekends and public holidays.

The castle marks the starting point of the Pyrmonter Felsensteig trail, which received recognition as Germany's most beautiful hiking path in 2015.
