Schloss Dillich stands in Dillich (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Dillich stands at the northwestern edge of the village of Dillich, in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis district of Hesse. Its present appearance, with scrolled gables, a polygonal stair tower crowned by a dome and numerous dormers, is the result of a thorough early twentieth century remodelling in the style of the Weser Renaissance. Set within a park enclosed by a sandstone wall, the building is not open to visitors, as it now serves as the residence of a community of Buddhist monks from Thailand.

What to know

Schloss Dillich cannot be visited, as it now serves as the residence of a religious community.
The building has 35 rooms and a total living area of about 1,650 square metres.
The roughly 2.5 hectare park is enclosed by a sandstone wall with a historic gate on its south side.
