Schloss Hungen, Medieval château in Hungen, Germany
Schloss Hungen is a multi-wing château in Hungen with buildings arranged around a central courtyard, featuring walls and architectural elements spanning different periods. The structure sits at Schloßgasse 7 and shows traces of various construction phases.
A fortress was first documented here in 1383 under Falkenstein control, then Count Bernhard II of Solms-Braunfels expanded it into a larger castle around 1455. This transformation fundamentally reshaped the site and its purpose.
A local organization keeps the space active with regular lectures and events on art, history, and social topics that shape how people use it today. These programs make the castle a gathering place for both residents and visitors.
Access is available during scheduled events and lectures, with the main entrance near the intersection of Schloßgasse and the railway line. It helps to check in advance when these openings happen to plan your visit.
During World War II the castle served as a collection point for Jewish cultural objects and libraries from across Western Europe. This troubling chapter remains an important part of the site's history today.
