With its striking gable, the stately three-storey complex with the octagonal stair tower in Nesselröden is one of the most important Renaissance castles in the Werra region. It has been owned by the Kruse family since 1980, who have been renovating the building piece by piece with a high degree of idealism. For this outstanding achievement, they received the Hessian Monument Protection Award in 2021. The castle surrounded by a park was built between 1592 and 1594 on the remains of an older fortification by the Treusch von Buttlar family. It originally consisted of a square courtyard and the manor house. At the beginning of the 19th century, the landgrave of Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld took over the property.

In the course of renovation measures carried out since 1980, of which there were few that preserved the originality of the building, the original floor plan was regained within the building by removing later fixtures. By repairing the dilapidated outbuildings, the historic complex as a whole was preserved as much as possible. The careful design of the small park increases the picturesque appeal of Nesselröden Castle and its importance as a cultural monument.
