Herborn Castle

Herborn Castle is arranged appropriate over the city of Herborn, which is situated in the Lahn-Dill locale in the province of Hesse, Germany. The Herborn stronghold was worked as a Motte-and-bailey manor, some portion of the fortress of the city of Herborn and associated with the city divider encompassing the city. The mansion was the focal point of the Herborn March, which was a fiefdom which the Counts of Nassau got from the Landgrave of Hesse. The primary documentation of the manor goes back to 1307/12.

In 1251 the chateau was revamped and toward the start of the fourteenth century it was changed into a villa. John VI, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg established his Calvinist college the Herborn Academy and put it in the stronghold in 1584. From 1806 the manor was not being used. As the manor was absolutely in remains, it was reestablished by Ludwig Hoffmann. Today it has the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau. Inside the manor there is a huge library of 68,000 works, something like 10,000 of which were printed before 1900. The library incorporates an accumulation of authentic books too printed materials from Herborn printers, for example, Corvin.
