The historic half-timbered town on the Dill

The Orange City of Dillenburg is the cradle of the Dutch royal family. The Wilhelmsturm, the city's landmark,
was built in honor of William I of Orange, who was born here in 1533. The underground defenses (casemates)
of the former castle are among the largest defense systems in Western Europe from the early modern period.
In addition to the historic old town with its picturesque half-timbered houses and winding streets, Dillenburg
offers numerous sights and a wide range of hiking and cycling options (including Rothaarsteig).
