After research and security work by the district of Haßberge, the ruins are now accessible again and offer a good view over the forests of the Hassberge.

The castle Raueneck should have been built around the year 1180. The name does not refer to a rough, but a wooded corner, which denotes the location in the forest. Over time, however, this has gradually lessened. Where a masonry stone bridge now forms the transition to the castle, a wooden drawbridge formerly secured the corner. The castle stood on a rock spur and was well secured from all sides.
