Eppstein Castle above the old town can be experienced with its imposing fortifications as a well-preserved defense system from the 14th and 15th centuries. The former aristocratic residence is an impressive symbol of power for the Lords of Eppstein, who, as Archbishops of Mainz, helped determine imperial politics in the 13th century. In the Eppstein Castle Museum, the 1000-year history of the impressive building is presented in a vivid manner. Castle festivals with knight action days also take place here.
