Diez Castle is impressive and unusually different. Be sure to also take a look at the old town around it.

The high medieval castle Grafenschloss Diez perched on a porphyry rock just above the old town of Diez. The place and the castle lie above the mouth of the Aar in the Lahn at a ford, which was used by several old roads.
Since 24 June 2006, the castle is reopened as a youth hostel of the German Youth Hostel Association (DJH) in its regional association Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland. The youth hostel covers 3,100 square meters and has 129 beds. [1]

The completely redesigned successor of the old Nassau Museum of Local History has been housed in the castle of the Counts Diez since 3 October 2007 after comprehensive renovation and renovation. Since then, it has been renamed the Museum in the Counts of Diez Castle. Themes of the permanent exhibition: prehistory and early history, history of the Counts' Castle, history of the city of Diez (from the Middle Ages to the present day), Fürstengalerie. In addition, u.a. Special exhibitions and museum didactic actions for children offered. The museum covers an area of 830 square meters.
