Rödelheimer Schloss, also called Burg Rödelheim, is a former medieval castle site in Frankfurt-Rödelheim. The castle originally stands on an island in the Nidda.

Historical records place the castle within the medieval history of Frankfurt-Rödelheim. Its strategic position near Frankfurt places it within a wider network of fortifications and regional feudal conflicts.

The Keppler family ranks among its recorded owners. Later, the Counts of Solms-Rödelheim make the castle their residence after it becomes a Reichsburg, or imperial castle. Frank the Rich of Cronberg replaces part of it with a fortified structure. His construction creates tensions with Frankfurt before the Counts of Solms secure full ownership of the castle.

A neoclassical palace then replaces most medieval structures. The new palace retains older elements, including corner towers, before wartime damage leads to its demolition. Solmspark preserves the former castle outline through paving stones, giving the site a visible trace of its medieval plan. A bronze model presents the castle’s former appearance.
