Built around 1320 as part of the former city wall by the Counts of Nassau-Dillenburg, the castle passed through the hands of various Nassau lines, e.g. B. also as a widow's residence and hunting lodge. Later it was a reformed prayer hall, barracks for Napoleonic soldiers and a school building, and most recently it is now the seat of the local administration. The associated old kifche was unfortunately demolished. In the oldest part, the tower, there is a local museum with late Gothic frescoes that is well worth seeing.

Mengerskirchen Castle, now the town hall, was built in 1312 as a lower castle by the counts of the House of Nassau.
In 1341, the castle came into the possession of Count Henry II of Nassau-Beilstein.
