Schloss Hungen, Medieval château in Hungen, Germany

The stone château rises at Schloßgasse 7, featuring multiple wings arranged around a central courtyard with defensive walls and architectural elements from different periods.

The initial fortress, documented in 1383 under Falkenstein ownership, transformed into a larger castle structure by Count Bernhard II of Solms-Braunfels around 1455.

The Freundeskreis Schloss Hungen organization maintains the château's cultural programs, offering lectures and events about art, history, and social topics throughout the year.

Visitors can access the château during scheduled events and lectures, with the main entrance located near the intersection of Schloßgasse and the railway line.

During World War II, the château functioned as a collection point for Jewish cultural artifacts and libraries taken from Western Europe.
