Schloss Langenau

Manor in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

Langenau Castle (German: Schloss Langenau) is an old lowland castle in the municipality of Obernhof in the county of Rhein-Lahn-Kreis in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The site of the fortification was the confluence of the Gelbach and the Lahn rivers. As a result, the castle is designed as a lowland type, which is unusual for this region. In 1243 the castle was first mentioned in the will of Countess Mechthild of Sayn who left it to the Archbishopric of Cologne. The archbishop enfeoffed the fortress shortly thereafter to the noble family of Langenau, cousins of the counts of Lauren
