Isenburg Castle, Renaissance castle in Offenbach am Main, Germany

The red-brick castle stands along the Main River with two towers on its southern side and features Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

The castle served as the residence of the Counts of Isenburg until 1816, when it became part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt.

King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden found refuge in the castle during the Thirty Years' War between 1618 and 1648.

The castle now functions as the home of Hochschule für Gestaltung, an art school that offers educational programs in design and related fields.

In 1698, the castle grounds became a settlement for Huguenot refugees, establishing Offenbach as a competitive trade center compared to Frankfurt.
