Willershausen Castle

The Treusch von Buttlar were lords of Willershausen and neighboring places in 1383. At the end of the 13th century, the residential tower and the defense tower of the current Willershausen Castle were built. When the last two heiresses from the Treusch von Buttlar family married, Gut and Wasserburg came to the von Kutzleben and von Bibra families in 1757 . From 1889 to 1992, the Landgraves of Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld owned the property.

In 1997, after another change of ownership, large areas of Gut Willershausen were converted into a golf course, on which gaming operations ceased in 2014.

Willershausen Church

The three-aisled church in Willershausen is relatively large. It bears witness to the pilgrimage that existed in the 15th century to the Marienkirche in Willershausen. Siegismund Treusch, called von Botteler, tried to found a monastery next to the church in 1464. As early as 1468, the monks left the new foundation and moved back to their parent monastery, the Servite monastery Mariengart zu Vacha , which was affected by a fire disaster at that time.

The parish is part of the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck .
