    The privately owned and not publicly accessible Fürstenstein hilltop castle is located north of Jestädt and can be reached via the approx. 1 km long, well-developed farm track from the Pletschmühle with a moderate incline. The closed gatehouse offers a beautiful view of the manor and the late medieval castle complex behind it with the stone residential tower and half-timbered attachment. The castle probably already existed around 1250. After changing owners and fiefdoms, it was owned by the Lords of Diede for several centuries until 1807, after which it reverted to Hesse as a fiefdom.
