Burg Staden

The stone castle stands on an island surrounded by the Nidda River and a mill stream, featuring a three-story building with a round staircase tower.

The castle, first documented in 1156, was entrusted to the Fulda Monastery by nobleman Wortwin and later transferred to the Büdingen and Isenburg families in 1233.

The Renaissance building known as Schloss Ysenburg incorporates architectural elements from different periods, including a portal from 1574 and keyhole arrow slits.

The castle structure now functions as a hotel and café establishment, offering visitors the opportunity to stay within its historical walls since 1949.

The castle ownership was once divided among 19 different shareholders, leading to the construction of multiple noble residences around the outer bailey.
