Moritzstein Castle used to be the main part of the Isenburg fortress town and for centuries the summer residence of the Counts of Isenburg-Birstein. It was built in the 18th century by Count Moritz von Ysenburg and Birstein. At that time it was built over the entire length of today's Amthofstraße and was called Moritzstein Castle. In 1811 the partly dilapidated castle was sold to several farming families. The buildings were demolished and new courtyards were built in their place. The coat of arms of the former main portal of the castle is still preserved and walled into the cellar wall of the Böck house. Only the Burgmannenhaus, which today is briefly called the "Moritzstein" or "Burg Moritzstein", remained intact. All that remains of the actual castle is the gatehouse and a wall (integrated into a stable building).
