Hiking

Der Ort Amönau wurde im Jahre 1008 von König Heinrich II. dem Stephanstift von Mainz geschenkt. Der älteste Teil der erhaltenen Bauten mit den Mauerresten und Gewölben sowie altertümlichen Kaminen deutet auf das sehr hohe Alter des Burgsitzes. Möglicherweise war der viereckige hohe Kirchturm am Anfang als Bergfried ausgelegt, da auch die fünf frühromanischen Schallöffnungen, von außen zugemauert – aber im Inneren noch zu sehen, darauf hindeuten. 1133 wird der Ort als in einem Verzeichnis als zur Vogtei Ebsdorf gehörend urkundlich. Die Vogtei Ebsdorf war zu dieser Zeit dem St. Stephans Stift zu Mainz unterstellt.

The little house on the castle hill served the painter Otto Ubbelohde as a motif for the Rapunzel Tower, one of his illustrations of the Grimm fairy tales.
