Schadeck Castle, Medieval castle in Schadeck, Runkel, Germany.
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop 50 meters above the Lahn River, featuring a rectangular main building with a staircase tower on its western side.
Henry of Westerburg constructed Schadeck Castle between 1276 and 1288 as a defensive position against the nearby Runkel Castle during inheritance disputes.
The name Schadeck originates from its intended purpose, meaning 'a spot from which to damage Runkel Castle' in medieval German territorial conflicts.
The castle contains private residences and undergoes regular maintenance, with the most recent extensive renovation completed in 2006, including roof replacement and staircase framework repairs.
The structure incorporates a three-and-a-half-story rectangular building that housed both the mayor's office and village school during the nineteenth century.
