About
Isenburg Castle is a Renaissance-style castle in Offenbach am Main. It was built in the 16th century by the House of Isenburg. Art historians consider Isenburg Castle to be an important Renaissance building north of the alps. This is evident in the differently designed facades on the north and south sides of the castle. The south side facing the city features a relaxed Renaissance facade with arcades between two stair towers, while the north side facing the Main River has a fortified facade made from parts of the older structure. The castle was originally planned as a four-winged castle. However, this construction project was never carried out.
