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

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.

There is NOTHING here. Why are there so many false and unnecessary highlights????

Beilstein has many half-timbered houses and a Protestant church in Greifenstein-Beilstein. The Beilstein Castle was built as a hilltop castle at 355 meters around 1129 by Kraft von Beilstein, Vogt of the Diocese of Worms. The ruins of the Beilstein Castle are now a restored and renovated residential building of the Beilstein Castle GmbH, which was expanded in 2002.

Really a beautiful building

Built around 1320 as part of the former city wall by the Counts of Nassau-Dillenburg, the castle passed through the hands of various Nassau lines, e.g. B. also as a widow's residence and hunting lodge. Later it was a reformed prayer hall, barracks for Napoleonic soldiers and a school building, and most recently it is now the seat of the local administration. The associated old kifche was unfortunately demolished. In the oldest part, the tower, there is a local museum with late Gothic frescoes that is well worth seeing.
