The Junker castle consists of wall remains and in the middle is a playground for the children

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

The floor plan visible today was reconstructed from surviving remains. Existing components were secured and partially walled up to illustrate the overall appearance of the complex. The history of the Junkern Castle, like that of Driedorf, is characterized by many changes and changing ownership rights. As early as 1340, the Mudersbach family had increasingly expanded their holdings in the Driedorf parish through small purchases and donations. The later Junkern Castle was handed over to the Mudersbach family by Count Otto II in 1347. When the Mudersbach family died out with the death of Daniel von Mudersbach around 1600, their properties went to the family of Count von Cronenberg, who in turn sold them to Georg von Nasssau-Beilstein in 1610. From 1600 onwards, the Junkern Castle was considered uninhabited. In 1780, a tower was undermined and brought down so that the rubble could be used to fill the moat and create a meadow. In 2004, the redesign of the area around the ruins was completed.

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.
