Schloss Neuweilnau stands in Neuweilnau (Hochtaunuskreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Neuweilnau rises above the village of Neuweilnau in the Weil valley, in Hesse. Originally built as a medieval stronghold in the early 14th century, it was later converted into a Renaissance residence for the Counts of Nassau-Weilburg, before falling into decline once the court moved away. The main house and gatehouse now serve as offices for the local forestry administration, while the vaulted cellar is used as an event space.

What to know

The castle houses the offices of the Weilrod forestry administration, which limits access to the interior.
Of the original 14th century stronghold, only a few wall and foundation remains and a section of the moat survive.
The building underwent a complete renovation in 2003.
The vaulted cellar can be rented as an event or wedding venue.
No visiting hours or admission fees are available, as the site is not set up as a conventional tourist attraction.
