The Weilbach Castle is a castle and former castle in Weilbach ( Castle Street 23 ), a modern district of Florsheim am Main in Main-Taunus-Kreis in Hesse .
The castle was built in the 12th-13th centuries. Built in the 18th century by the knight family Erlenbach von Weilbach . The Bering was expanded in the 15th century . Around 1671 the castle came into the possession of Johann Adolf Wolff-Metternich through a pledge and is still owned by the count's family today.
Around 1670 the mansion was built on a high base with exposed half-timbering and a hipped roof . There is also the stump of a late Gothic residential tower and a rectangular flank tower with a chapel added later .
Occasional public events have meanwhile made the castle better known.
