The ruin belongs to the Forsthof Hüttelngesäß.
The ruins of the moated castle, first mentioned in writing in 1131, now belong to the 250-year-old Forsthof Hüttelngesäß. In 1403, Archbishop Johann II von Nassau granted the right to open Hüttelngesäß Castle. From there, together with Mömbris Castle, which is often incorrectly referred to as Womburg, and Hauenstein Castle, the area of the upper Kahl and Lohr, which was under Rieneck's influence, was secured. Two years later, on February 22, 1405, the castle burned down during the Wetterau war of robbers.

In 1510, the County of Hanau bought the castle ruins as "a dilapidated building" with the associated meadows and forests. It has not been rebuilt. Parts of the outbuilding and the surrounding wall as well as the remains of the residential tower have been preserved.[1]

Since 1754, the ruins and the adjoining forestry estate have been owned by the von Savigny family. (see Wikipedia)

In the courtyard itself, Volv.o fans met and showed their extraordinary treasures.

There is also a beautiful little chapel and you can also try schnapps.

Hüttengesöß Castle was once located in the Main-Kinzig district in the Hessian Spessart, between Niedersteinbach and Geiselbach. It is located at the lower end of Teufelsgrund in the middle Kahlgrund.
