Burg Alzenau stands on a rocky outcrop at the heart of Alzenau, overlooking the market square. Built between 1395 and 1399 by the archbishops of Mainz, it served as their administrative seat and was repeatedly pledged as collateral during the turbulent fifteenth century. The late Gothic hall building, restored in the 1970s after years of decay, contains a knights' hall regarded as a notable example of German castle architecture. Its inner courtyard and hall now host cultural events, including theatre and music festivals.
