Ziegenberg Castle, Medieval castle in Ober-Mörlen, Germany

The castle structure sits on a mountain ridge near the Usa river, featuring remnants of its original round tower and baroque architectural elements.

Built in the mid-14th century by the Lords of Falkenstein, the castle underwent modifications in 1747 when Eitel von Diede transformed it into a baroque residence.

The castle serves as a German cultural heritage monument, preserving architectural elements that reflect the regional building traditions of Hesse.

The castle complex now contains private condominiums following extensive renovations between 1992 and 1993, with restricted access to certain areas.

During World War II, the castle housed military command facilities and Field Marshal von Rundstedt directed the Ardennes Offensive from this location in 1944.
