Burg Mellnau
Wetter, Germany, Germany
Burg Mellnau is a ruined medieval lowland castle overlooking the Lahn Valley near the village of Mellnau in Wetter, Hesse, Germany, first mentioned in 1362 as a possession of the von Mellnau knights who served the Archbishopric of Mainz.
Constructed likely in the 13th century with a rectangular layout, bergfried tower, and outer bailey, it changed hands through families like the von Hohenfels and von der Leyen before falling into decay after the Thirty Years' War, with its stones later quarried for local buildings.
Today, the site offers visible wall remnants and foundations accessible by hiking trails through the surrounding Burgwald forests, popular for its scenic views and historical significance in the region's feudal past.
