The Dillenburg counts expanded the initially modest but solid castle building · directed against the Landgraves of Hesse · in the course of the following centuries to a spacious and impressive castle, which the Dillenburg count families used for occasional stays with their guests. Otherwise, the high-born AMTMANN resided in the castle, where he also exercised the lower jurisdiction. A gallows tree artificially held upright with cement bandages from that time is the only witness of this official activity.
