Haselstein Castle, Castle ruin in Nüsttal, Germany

The remains of Haselstein Castle stand on a steep basalt hill at 434 meters above sea level in the Hesse region.

The site was first mentioned in 780 under the name Haselahastein, while the castle construction dates from 1100 by the Counts of Ziegenhain.

The castle ruins maintain sections of the original surrounding walls and two sides of the entrance gate tower, illustrating medieval German architecture.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking paths that lead to the elevated position, offering views of the Nüsttal municipality.

The castle served as the birthplace of Eberhard von der Tann in 1495, who later introduced the Reformation to the region in 1534.
