Castle Laneburg, Medieval castle ruins in Löhnberg, Germany.

The stone walls of Castle Laneburg stand above the Lahn River where it enters a narrow rocky valley from the wider Löhnberg basin.

First documented in 1324, the castle transformed into a Renaissance palace for the Nassau-Dillenburg family before a fire destroyed it in 1900.

The castle grounds serve as a gathering place for local celebrations, maintaining connections between residents and their medieval heritage.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following Schloßstraße in Löhnberg, with parking available near the Protestant castle church.

During restoration work in 2000, workers discovered a valuable collection of historical coins, now known as the Treasure of Laneburg.
