List of castles in Hesse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Numerous castles (Burgen) and palaces (Schlösser) are found in the German state of Hesse. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1000 years, were the setting of historical events, domains of famous personalities and are still imposing buildings to this day.

This list encompasses castles described in German as Burg (castle), Festung (fort/fortress), Schloss and Palais/Palast (palace). Many German castles after the Middle Ages were mainly built as royal or ducal palaces rather than as a fortified building.
