A hidden gem for anyone who enjoys delving into the past. The site consists of a central mound approximately three meters high and measuring roughly 17 x 20 meters in diameter. The mound is still enclosed by a ring ditch about 10 meters wide, vividly illustrating the former fortification. Its construction is estimated to date back to around 1000 AD.

The complex consists of a well-preserved core mound with a diameter of 17 x 20 m, which is surrounded by a 10 m wide moat. The hill is still three meters high. The building that now stands on the site of the original tower was probably built shortly after the Thirty Years' War and probably served as a servants' or retirement home. Remnants of the older structure, such as masonry blocks and parts of a barrel vault, were most likely reused during construction. The (current) appearance goes back to reconstruction measures in the 19th century.
