Ponitz Castle was built around 1254 for the Lords of Ponitz. The castle was demolished in 1568-1575 and rebuilt as a Renaissance castle. After 1990 the castle was renovated. In 1568 the Abraham von Thumbsbirn family bought the castle for 30,000 Rhenish guilders from Heinrich von Ende. The later lord of the castle Wolfgang Conrad von Thumbsbirn (1604 - 1664) was one of the founders of the Peace of Westphalia. The castle is in excellent condition and there is delicious 🍨 in the castle café across the street.
