Burg Sonnenberg, Medieval castle in Sonnenberg, Germany
The castle ruins stand on a mountain spur, featuring preserved fortifications, city walls, and a prominent tower overlooking the Rambach valley.
Built between 1201 and 1203 by Henry II and Robert IV of Nassau, the castle protected Wiesbaden against the Lords of Eppstein during border disputes.
The castle tower contains a museum displaying artifacts and information about the medieval period of Nassau's territorial control in the region.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through marked paths from Sonnenberg's center, with limited wheelchair accessibility to certain areas of the site.
The castle served as the residence of Count Adolf of Nassau during his reign as King of the Romans in 1292.
