Schloss Hausen, Medieval château in Bad Soden-Salmünster, Germany.
Schloss Hausen is a castle in Bad Soden-Salmünster situated on raised terrain with stone walls that display construction elements from multiple building periods. The fortress has a strong presence in the landscape through its solid structure and distinctive tower.
The castle first appears in written records in 1540 when it was sold to the Archdiocese of Mainz and already featured fortifications with a central tower. Its function gradually shifted from military defense to administrative purposes over subsequent centuries.
The castle's transformation from a military fortress to an administrative center reflects the changing roles of German castles through centuries.
The property is not open to visitors as it currently houses a kindergarten facility. However, you can view and photograph the structure from outside to appreciate its historical architecture and elevated position.
During the 1950s, the castle briefly operated as a hotel after the European Film Union purchased and renovated it. This hospitality period left an imprint on the building's history before it took on subsequent uses.
