Burg Ellhaus

Burg Ellhaus — also known as Burg Milchling or Edelhaus — is a medieval water castle on the left bank of the Lumda river in Treis an der Lumda, a district of Staufenberg in Hesse's Gießen county. Listed as a Hessian cultural monument, it reflects the region's medieval noble history, though precise construction dates are not documented. Its riverside setting, typical of the moated water-castle typology, lends it a quiet, atmospheric character.
