    The castle, first mentioned in a document in 1255, is enthroned on a rock above the mouth of the Elbbach in the Sieg. It is privately owned, so you can only admire it from the outside. The quarry stone and brick buildings have slate roofs and the upper floors are partially clad in slate. Very impressive and definitely worth seeing.

      The castle courtyard can be visited at any time. There is a game shop at the entrance to the castle courtyard.

        The impressive view of Schönstein Castle can best be seen from the Siegbrücke with fallen leaves. The photo used is taken from the mountain slope on the Sieg nature trail north of the castle.
