Description Destination
The ruins of Husen Castle tower prominently above Hausach. Visitors can expect a magnificent view over the Kinzig and Einbach valleys, as well as the Brandenkopf opposite.
The castle was built around 1220 under the Zähringers to protect the surrounding silver mines. Its first documented mention as “castrum husen” dates back to 1246. In the 14th century, the property became the property of the Fürstenbergers as a wedding gift. During the years 1453 to 1477 it was ruled by Count Henry VI. von Fürstenberg generously rebuilt it. But the Thirty Years' War did not leave Hausach unscathed: Weimar troops destroyed the castle. There was no reconstruction. Between 1985 and 1989, the municipality renovated the still visible remains, the keep, parts of the palace wall and the battery tower.
Access to the castle ruins:
Husen Castle is located directly on the Westweg and the "Hausacher Bergsteig". From the main road a footpath (red diamond) leads to the ruins. From Hausach train station it takes about 20 minutes to walk through the city center. During the summer months, the castle tower is freely accessible daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
