Limburg Castle, Medieval castle on Lahn River hill in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany.
Limburg Castle is a stone fortress rising on a hilltop above the Lahn River, composed of multiple buildings, towers, and fortified walls. The complex forms a defensive stronghold where different sections fit together as a protective system.
The fortress was founded in the early 13th century by the Counts of Nassau and controlled a major crossing point for trade routes along the Lahn. Its location made it a key strategic stronghold for the region.
The building displays Romanesque and Gothic features from its different construction phases. These architectural styles shape how the structure looks and feels when you walk through it.
Access is from Frankfurter Straße 47, where guided tours of the fortress are offered. Visitors should expect stairs and uneven paths, which are typical when exploring the different sections.
The fortress received an award in 2021 for outstanding heritage preservation and careful historical documentation. This recognition shows how thoroughly the site is maintained and studied.
