Herborn Castle, Cultural heritage castle in Herborn, Germany.
The stone castle stands on an elevated position above Herborn, featuring multiple towers and traditional architectural elements from different construction periods.
Originally built as a fortified castle in the 13th century, the structure underwent modifications in 1251 and later housed the Calvinist Herborn Academy from 1584.
The castle contains a substantial library of 68,000 works, including 10,000 books printed before 1900 and materials from local Herborn printers.
The castle currently functions as the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau, with restricted wheelchair accessibility to certain areas.
The structure maintains its connection to the original city wall fortification system, demonstrating the medieval defensive network of Herborn.
