    The castle was built in 1250. Today the keep is 35 meters high, which was renovated in 1975 and made accessible and can be used as a lookout tower. From here you have a wonderful view over the Waldachtal.

      It's hard to believe that this amazing attraction was destroyed by mindless vandals. It was always a bit of an adventure to climb the spiral staircase in the dark. I can still vividly remember the construction and excavation of the inner castle and the farmyard in the early 1970s by archaeologists from the State Office for Monument Protection. The municipality invested a lot of work and money in the iron spiral staircase to guarantee visitors a beautiful view. Who knows if the 35-meter-high keep will ever be opened again.

        The tower is accessible via a spiral staircase
