Only ruins remain of the once proud fortress, but regardless of this, the castle ruins are worth seeing and the largest archaeological monument in the district of Sonneberg. The city of Schalkau recognized the value of the ruins of Schaumberg for the development of tourism in the Schalkauer Land and initiated extensive security and demolition measures at the beginning of the 1990s in order to preserve the monument and open it up for tourism.
