    One of the three family castles of the old noble family of Hürnheim. It stands at the end of the Christgarten Valley, which is rich in castles, ramparts and ramparts. Keep: high medieval, rest: probably late medieval. The other two eponymous castles of Hürnheim are: 'Hochhaus' and 'Rauhaus', both in the immediate vicinity. worth visiting. If you want to reach everything on foot, you should be prepared for a longer hike (approx. 3-4 hours).

      Niederhaus ruins

      The ruin of the former Stauferburg Niederhaus towers far visible on a narrow rocky ridge above the Kartäusertal.

      The castle complex dates back to the Lords of Hürnheim in the 12th century.

      Pallas, keep and parts of the outer wall are still well preserved. In 1634 the castle was partially destroyed by a Swedish equestrian force. Inside, a plaque commemorates Friedrich vo Hürnheim, who was beheaded in 1268 together with the last Hohenstaufen Konradin in Naples.

        The Staufer-Stehle (Staufer-Stehle), where his lineage and death are explained. In the background, there's a bench with a beautiful view.
