Budlingen Attractions 
Some 30km/20mi northeast of Hanau, on the southern fringe of the Vogelsberg, is the little town of Büdingen (pop. 18,000).
There are still considerable stretches of the old town walls (15th-16th C.), with round towers, on the north and west sides of the town. In the Marktplatz is the Late Gothic Old Town Hall, with the Heuson Museum (history and folk traditions of the region); in this area too there are many old half-timbered buildings. To the southeast is the 15th century Marienkirche (St Mary's Church).
In the nearby village of Grossendorf is the Remigiuskirche, one of the oldest churches in Germany, dating back in part to Ottonian and Salian times.

Schloss Büdingen
The formidable castle of the Princes of Isenburg and Büdingen, originally dating from the 13th C., was much altered in the 15th-17th centuries. It has handsome state apartments and contains a museum. The Gothic chapel has a Romanesque pediment over the doorway.
