Solms Castle in Butzbach, Late Gothic château near city walls in Butzbach, Germany.
Solms Castle stands as a two-story rectangular building with a four-story round tower integrated into the medieval city fortifications of Butzbach.
The castle originated between 1479 and 1481, serving different purposes through centuries, including operating as a local court from 1879 until 2004.
The Renaissance-style staircase in the entrance contains inscriptions from a humanist scholar, displaying the architectural preferences of that period.
Following renovations from 2009 to 2012, the castle received modern radiant heating and cooling systems while maintaining its historical characteristics.
The structure earned the Hessian Monument Protection Prize in 2017 for its exemplary preservation methods and architectural conservation efforts.
