Romrod - Schloss Romrod 04

The castle Romrod is a castle arrangement in Romrod near Alsfeld in theVogelsbergkreis in Hessen. The arrangement decreases to an older water castle of Messrs. von Romrod which originated probably in the 12th century. Later she fell to the landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt who allowed to alter the castle to a hunting seat.

The first documentary mention Romrods is given from 1197 when in a document of the cloister of Fulda under abbot Heinrich III. of Kronberg Ludwig of Rumerot appears as a witness of a manors transference. The ministerial gender presumably belonged to the followers of the landgraves of Thuringia, however, is testified also in the Fuldaer sphere.
