Nassau-Sporkenburger Hof Manor

The three-axis late Gothic building (core 14th century) has an octagonal stair tower with a spire, which protrudes above the gabled roof. The upper floor is partly timber-framed. A new side wing with a glass central risalit is attached via a glazed gallery. At the back is a small garden with a grapevine.

From 1527 onwards, the court served as the residence of the Counts of Nassau-Sporkenburg for almost a century. These were descendants of the Counts of Helfenstein, who maintained their ancestral seat at Sporkenburg. The brothers Johann and Quirin von Nassau (Hofmeister in Trier, not related to the House of Nassau) had acquired the Helfenstein possessions in 1503. The last of this line, Heinrich von Nassau-Sporkenburg (Choir Bishop of Dietkirchen), died in 1601.

Together with two other buildings (Heimbachhaus and Wirtshaus an der Lahn), the Nassau-Sporkenburger Hof is one of the last remaining medieval noble courts in Lahnstein.
