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

I really liked the city.

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

Dillenburg is simply worth a short trip. Great old town with small shops and the nature around Dillenburg really offers a lot.

Greifenstein Castle is a recommendation, not just because of the view. 👍

A very nice, well-kept old town.
