Hohenhaus Castle Hotel

Highlight • Castle

The castle Hohenhaus is a former manor at the district of Holzhausen Herleshausen. In 1982, the castle was extensively renovated and rebuilt and since then you can spend the night in a noble ambience in the castle hotel. The rooms are not cheap, but especially for hikers on the Werra-Burgen-Steig Hesse is a stylish night in the castle a must.

Brandenfels Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Quite romantic and hidden lies the ruins of the castle Brandenfels on a densely wooded hilltop. The forest was once cleared here, but since the castle has not been inhabited since the 16th century, the forest has almost completely overgrown the castle. It is forbidden to enter the ruin due to the danger of collapse, but you can also admire it at a few meters safety distance from the path.

St. John's Church Holzhausen

Highlight • Religious Site

In 1915 the late Gothic village church was built in the park-like area on the avenue to Gut Hohenhaus. The building floor plan is characterized by its angled, asymmetrical structure. The choir and aisle windows designed with late Gothic motifs are particularly noteworthy. The gallery above the entrance is closed with a richly decorated parapet. From the village you can see a picturesque village church in a picturesque setting, which you simply cannot pass by.
