The ruins of Sonnenberg Castle sit atop a rock in Wiesbaden-Sonnenberg, built from 1200 by the Counts Heinrich II and Ruprecht of Nassau. It served as a defensive stronghold against the neighboring Lords of Eppstein, with whom there were ongoing boundary disputes. Today, the castle is an architectural heritage monument that echoes the region's turbulent past.
