The Mosburg is a romantic castle ruin in the park of Biebrich Palace in Wiesbaden. Originally built as a neo-Gothic residential castle in the 19th century, it is picturesquely situated on a small island in the Mosburgweiher lake.

At the beginning of the 19th century - in the middle of the cultural-historical epoch of Romanticism - Duke Friedrich August von Nassau acquired further property to expand the park, including the ruins of a former moated castle from the 13th century. With a ring wall, corner towers and drawbridge, it corresponded to the ideal of a medieval castle. The duke commissioned the court building director Georg Carl Florian Goetz to build a romantic residential castle on its foundations. This created the impression of a medieval castle, among other things through the use of demolition material from the medieval Church of Our Lady in Mainz. In the years that followed, the mock ruins, which marked a clear contrast to the baroque palace, served as a refuge for the Dukes of Nassau. During the Second World War, the artificial ruins became actual ruins. The Mosburg has not been open to the public for decades. However, it is planned to open the building to the public again in the near future after the renovation has been completed
