    Waldthausen Castle is not a real castle, but it is still beautiful to look at and romantically located. The castle-like villa was built in the middle of the Lenneberg Forest between 1908 and 1910 on behalf of Baron Martin Wilhelm von Waldthausen in the style of a Hohenstaufen palace building with a square tower resembling a keep. The builder was a captain of a hussar regiment stationed in Mainz and came from a respected patrician and industrial family from Essen.

    Since the end of 1982, the entire property has belonged to the Rhineland-Palatinate Savings Banks and Giro Association, which, after renovation, operated the Rhineland-Palatinate Savings Bank Academy as an education and meeting center. Unfortunately, the castle and all adjacent buildings have been empty for several years. The gardens and parks are freely accessible, and concerts and other public events are sometimes held in the villa itself.
