Schloss Dornberg, Medieval château in Groß-Gerau, Germany
The château features remaining perimeter walls of the outer bailey, a restored gate, and a round keep measuring 10 meters in diameter.
First documented as castrum Dorenberg in 1236, the château served as a residence for the Counts of Katzenelnbogen until French troops destroyed it in 1689.
The château houses the District Adult Education Center since 2007, offering educational programs and seminars in its renovated spaces.
The site contains administrative offices and seminar rooms, with preserved medieval wall paintings and coffered ceilings in some sections of the structure.
Located on the edge of an old Neckar riverbed, the original structure was built on an artificial hill to maintain stability in marshy terrain.
