Dillenburg old town and tower, as well as catacombs are worth seeing.

Simply beautiful. Everything has been said. Ideal place to stay

I really liked the city.

A beautiful old moated castle with an interesting history. Around the castle you can learn a lot about the castle on information boards. In the wooded area above there is an adventure playground and other boards showing the location of the various trades in the castle. Worth seeing and exciting. There are tables and benches all over the site to linger and you can also stop off in the depot (observe opening hours). Admission to the site is free.

The town of Dillenburg laid the foundation for its importance as the seat of power of the Nassau-Dillenburg family early on. Although it was first mentioned in a document in 1254, it received city rights only 90 years later from King Ludwig IV of Bavaria. Wilhelm I of Orange was born here in April 1533. He organized the war of liberation in Dillenburg, gathered his followers at Ginsburg and is considered the founder of the Dutch royal family. Dillenburg recorded 600 deaths during the worst plague epidemics in history. In between, as a result of the Thirty Years' War, Dillenburg was sacked by the Swedes in 1634. The last prince of the House of Nassau-Dillenburg died in 1739. His inheritance passed to the related House of Orange-Nassau in the Netherlands. With the end of this principality, the connection to the Netherlands was broken and Dillenburg passed to the Duchy of Nassau. In modern times, Dillenburg was shaped by mining and iron processing, as is typical for the region.

There's always something going on !

Castle view

The Wasserburg Hainchen is the only moated castle in South Westphalia. The cultural-historical monument is located near the Rothaarsteig and has an eventful history. The Wasserburg Hainchen is a structural testimony to the most diverse epochs of Siegerland history. It was first mentioned in a document in 1290. Over the centuries, the moated castle of Hainchen changed hands several times. It experienced its heyday under the Lords of Bicken, who owned it for more than 350 years. From 1815, under Prussian state ownership, the castle gradually fell into disrepair. The Siegerland Castle Association has been the sponsor of the Hainchen moated castle since the 1970s. With great commitment, he pursues the goal of making the castle tangible. Today, the moated castle of Hainchen is a popular destination. The 33,000 m² park invites you to linger. You can stop off in the old depot on Sundays, public holidays and Wednesdays. 15 simple rooms are available for overnight stays in the moated castle of Hainchen. There is a conference room for seminars and couples can tie the knot in the newly furnished wedding room. Source: https://www.siegen-wittgenstein.info/de/poi/burg/wasserburg-hainchen/32973687/
