    The inner and outer moat and a remnant of the wall of the main castle have been preserved from the ruins. A connection to the castle of the robber knight Eppelein von Gailingen was mistakenly assumed, since the Gailingen family's residence was in Illesheim.
    Former margravial official castle.

      The castle was built in the 12th century and was one of the largest castles in the area at the time. In 1388, however, it was destroyed by the Nuremberg people - then enemies of the burgraves - and was not rebuilt.

        Unfortunately, you can only see a few remains of the wall, but it is still worth a detour
