Friedelhausen Castle, Gothic castle in Lollar, Germany

Friedelhausen Castle features four distinctive towers and follows English architectural design principles, standing prominently within the Hesse region landscape.

Baron Adalbert von Nordeck zur Rabenau commissioned the construction of this castle in 1852 as a residence for his English wife Clara.

The German poet Rainer Maria Rilke spent the summer of 1905 at Friedelhausen Castle as a guest of the Countess of Schwerin.

The castle remains in private ownership, limiting visitor access to external views from nearby roads and surrounding hiking paths.

The structure combines English Gothic architectural elements with German château traditions, creating a distinct architectural composition in the Lahn Valley.
