Illingen Castle

Illingen Castle was documented first time in 1359 when it was owned by Dietrich V. von Kerpen (this is why castle is also called Kerpen Castle). In the16th century it was moved to the hands of Nassau-Saarbrücken counts, who owned Illigen until French Revolution. Illingen castle was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt later. 

The castle started to decay after 1825 and was used as a quarry. The tower was restored in 1951 and today there is a restaurant.
