Burg Stein, Medieval castle ruin in Nassau, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The castle ruins stand beneath Burg Nassau, positioned strategically between the valleys of the Lahn River and the Mühlbach stream.
The castle served as the ancestral residence of the Reichsfreiherren vom und zum Stein family, first documented in records from 1158.
Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein, a prominent member of the castle's noble family, implemented substantial reforms in Prussia.
The remaining wall fragments reveal the castle's original layout, which included a rectangular outer wall, central tower, and great hall.
During the Thirty Years' War, the family transferred their residence to a converted tithe barn in Nassau, which became known as Steinsches Schloss.
