About

Dierdorf castle (German: Schloss Dierdorf) was a former moated castle and later baroque style princely residence located in Dierdorf, in the Westerwald region of present-day Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. From the early 18th century until the 19th century, it served as a residence of the Princes of Wied-Runkel.

The palace building itself was demolished in 1902; however, the castle pond (German: Schlossweiher), parts of the former park landscape, and the mausoleum of the Princes of Wied-Runkel have survived.
