Schloss Elnhausen, Baroque castle in Elnhausen district, Marburg, Germany
The rectangular mansion measures 25 meters in length and 15 meters in width, featuring a gabled roof and central portal with nine window axes.
Hermann von Vultejus acquired the ruins of a water castle in 1672 and constructed the current baroque structure between 1707 and 1717 following French designs.
The mansion represents a transition from medieval fortification to refined country residence, marking social changes in German aristocratic architecture during the 18th century.
Located at Hermann-von-Vultée-Weg 1 on the northwest edge of Elnhausen village, the castle stands at 225 meters above sea level near Stöckelsberg hill.
The original moat from the medieval water castle remains visible on the southern side of the current baroque building, connecting past and present architectural elements.
