Echzeller Burg, Cultural heritage monument in Echzell, Germany.
The baroque castle features a two-story main building with nine axes, adorned with sandstone elements at the entrance and stairway.
Emperor Charlemagne granted the location, known as Acheaz villa, to the Fulda Monastery around 800 AD, establishing the foundation of Fuldischen Mark.
The structure now functions as part of Institut Lucius, a boarding school, while preserving sections of the original castle wall and dry moat.
The castle stands northeast of Friedberg in the Wetterau region, near the River Horloff and accessible from Hauptstraße 111.
The Kavaliershaus, a three-story timber-framed building within the complex, displays detailed architectural craftsmanship from the period.
