Högen Castle, rebuilt starting in 1733, stood empty for many years and was lovingly restored and completely renovated by its new residents between 2003 and 2004. The castle is Högen's landmark. It is depicted on the large hiking trail signs that are found throughout the area. Perhaps its most famous resident was Knorr von Rosenroth.
