    The Counts of Solms rebuilt Hohensolms Castle in 1350 after their first castle was completely destroyed elsewhere in 1349. From the former residence of the Counts of Solms-Hohensolms, the furnishings of the knight's hall, the carvings in the stairwell and the artistic wood paneling in the upper chambers have been preserved. The castle has been owned by the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau since 1953 and is used as a guest house for children and young people. In the castle (main building), the house offers plenty of space for children and young people with shared rooms and some head rooms with associated shower/toilet. In the modern Marstall there are 18 rooms with shower/toilet for 2 - 6 people. Numerous conference rooms for 20 - 200 people are available. The former princely seat of Hohensolms has been a youth castle since 1924.

      Hohensolms Castle, also known as Neu-Hohensolms, is a hilltop castle on the so-called "Ramsberg" at around 430 m above sea level. NN The castle was built around 1350 by the Counts of Solms. It replaced Alt-Hohensolms Castle, which was destroyed in 1349 by the imperial city of Wetzlar and was about 2 kilometers further south on the Altenberg.
      In the disputes with the imperial city of Wetzlar, Neu-Hohensolms was partially destroyed in 1356 and 1363.
