Nassau Castle
Nassau Castle is a medieval hill castle on a rocky outcrop above the Lahn River in present-day Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was the ancestral seat of the House of Nassau and comprises a late-Romanesque palas, a high multi-sided bergfried and connecting curtain walls; the site today has undergone restoration and partial reconstruction and houses a restaurant in the main building.

As it stood in 1350
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a rocky outcrop about 120 m above the Lahn River, the castle presents a rectangular late‑Romanesque palas and a five‑sided bergfried rising roughly 33 m, linked by curtain walls and a gate building. The bergfried is a tall polygonal stone tower with narrow embrasures and, as reconstructed from period depictions, a hipped roof and crenellated merlon with small side towers. The complex sits above the town, with the inner courtyard giving onto the palas façade and tower base.
