First mentioned around 1350, once the seat of the High School, armoury and mint, among other things.
The residential castle, which was built in the same course as the town fortifications, was first mentioned in documents around 1350. It served the Counts of Nassau as a secondary residence, cannon forge and widow's residence. The main building in the style of a French chateau was completed, albeit only around 1440, under Count Engelberg I of Nassau-Breda, a direct ancestor of today's Dutch royal family. Since the foundation of the High School, the castle has also been used time and again for academic purposes and service flats for professors. Today, the castle, which is still inhabited, is owned by the Protestant Church of Hesse-Nassau and houses the Theological Seminary, a successor institution to the High School, where future Protestant pastors are trained. In addition, its walls house an important historical and also an extensive contemporary library.
