A mighty round tower, over 13 meters in diameter, rises above the partially restored Salian-Staufer castle ruins. Similar tower structures are otherwise only found in Central Germany.
Steinenschloss was built during the reign of the Salian emperors, around 1024-1125. Now only a ruin, Steinenschloss, with its massive sandstone blocks at the confluence of the Schwarzbach and Rodalb rivers, is a testament to how the Salian emperor Conrad II subdued the dukes and the Church in their internal powers.
