The foundations of this watchtower built in the 2nd century were discovered only in 1936 and excavated and conserved in 1991. A good resting place in the footsteps of the Romans.

Wine turns into gold
A young man from Ottensheim once again passed the ruins of Kürnberg Castle. But this time something was different.
He discovered an entrance to the castle. Curious, he walked on until he found himself in front of a magnificent wine cellar. Barrel after barrel was lined up here. The man didn't hesitate for long and took a big swig. He also wanted to bring a sample to his family. But suddenly three old men blocked his way. The young man stammered a prayer and asked them to let him go. He was lucky. The three even allowed him to take as much wine as he wanted. But there was one condition: only he and his family could drink it.

For a while, everything went well. One day, however, he let friends taste the wine. They were surprised by the quality of the drink. Curious, they wanted to know how they could get the wine too. But the young man said nothing. The whole matter came before the council. The man had no choice but to reveal the secret wine cellar. It got even worse: he was supposed to get a wine sample to confirm his story.

The door to the wine cellar was open, and the three old men were already waiting inside. Suddenly they pulled something out of their pockets. The young man fainted in shock. When he woke up again, his hat was filled to the brim with old gold coins. The enchanted wine cellar, however, had sunk into the depths along with its keepers. No one has found it since.
