Burg Stadeck, Medieval water castle in Stadecken-Elsheim, Germany.

The castle consists of a main building, remnants of a ring wall, a corner tower, a castle barn, and a garden located on a peninsula of the Selz river.

Count Eberhard I of Katzenelnbogen constructed Burg Stadeck in 1276, which later became an administrative center through an agreement with Count Walram of Sponheim in 1349.

The castle barn functions as a center for exhibitions, readings, concerts, and community gatherings, accommodating up to 150 people for various cultural events.

While the residential building remains private property, visitors can explore the medieval herb garden and attend public events in the castle courtyard throughout the year.

The castle's zoll tower, built in the 14th century, served as a toll station on the important postal route connecting Mainz to Bad Kreuznach.
