Dillenburg, Germany
More than 700 years old, Dillenburg is characterised by its historical central district featuring half-timbered houses. The town is located in the Lahn-Dill district in central Hessen, just over an hour’s drive north of the financial metropolis of Frankfurt am Main. Dillenburg combines the hustle and bustle of a strong economy with the tranquillity and beauty of the Lahn-Dill mountains.
Dillenburg’s history is marked by its connection to the Dutch royal family: In the 16th century, Wilhelm I of Orange, who was born in Dillenburg, organised the Netherlands resistance against Spain from exile in Dillenburg Castle. Dillenburg is thus considered the cradle of the Dutch royal family.
The landmark of the city is a tower named the Wilhelmsturm. Nestled in between the numerous old half-timbered houses and the River Dill which flows around the Schlossberg, it shapes the image of the town.
