Stadeck Castle is located in the middle of the municipality of Stadecken Elsheim and is fully integrated into the town centre. Originally it was built in 1276 by Count Eberhard I von Katzenelnbogen as a moated castle, since it was situated on a headland of the Selz, 147 metres above sea level. Today it still consists of a main house, remains of a curtain wall and a corner tower, the castle barn and a castle garden. The castle courtyard is used for open-air events and in the converted castle barn exhibitions and other events are held. In 1632 the castle was destroyed and then rebuilt.
