Festung Rüsselsheim, Medieval fortress in Rüsselsheim am Main, Germany.
The fortress contains five bastions, deep moats, and high walls constructed with massive limestone blocks that form a pentagonal defensive structure.
Originally built in 1399 by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen, the fortress underwent major expansion in 1479 under Henry III of Hesse until 1546.
The Municipal and Industrial Museum within the fortress presents exhibits about regional development from prehistoric times through the industrial age.
Visitors can explore the fortress with audio guides available at the museum counter, and they may bring their own headphones for better sound quality.
The fortress grounds include visible floor patterns in the courtyard that reveal the original layout of the first medieval castle structure.
