About Wehen Castle:
The castle was built around 1330 by Count Gerlach I of Nassau-Weilburg.
It stands on the remains of a medieval castle – a smaller structure (e.g., a tower castle) may have existed there previously.
Over the centuries, the castle has served various functions: as a court and administration building, a widow's residence, and a hunting lodge. It was also sometimes used for refugees or as living space.
Today, it is a listed building.
