Rieneck Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was built in the 12th century and is still an impressive building today.

The courtyard can be entered daily from 9am to 6pm, unless there is a closed event at the castle. The tour of the keep, "thick tower", is only possible by appointment.

View of Rieneck Castle from the Sinn Floodplain

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Sinnaue there is a good view of Rieneck Castle. Today's youth castle of a scout association has its beginnings around the year 1150. It is the visible testimony of the former County of Rieneck. The county ended as an independent territory in 1559 with the death of the last Count Philip III. The largest part of the county thus fell to the Electorate of Mainz, a small part to the county of Hanau- Münzenberg. The medieval structure was significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries through conversion work, resulting in today's appearance.
