        The prison was last used in 1963 ...
        It probably has a new owner and is to be rebuilt ...

          The core of the former prison, not in use since 1963, dates back to the 17th century. In 1883/84 an extension to the north and an increase to a three-storey solid building with a slate hipped roof was carried out according to plans by Karl Rommel. A new prison wall was erected in 1954.

          According to reports on various newspaper pages (all via Paywall), the complex, which has now been sold, is being converted into a hotel.
