There are no documented mentions of the castle, which probably dates back to the early Middle Ages; only the field names Holz Kukesburch (1265/1285) and juxta Cukesborch (1284) have been handed down.
The castle probably served as a lookout for the ministerials of Mordorf who were in the service of the Counts of Regenstein.

From the early castle complex that is said to have existed there is unfortunately no longer to be seen, but the sandstone is also worth a visit, careful when climbing it goes down left and right.

Climbing up is definitely worth it, you don't have to go all the way to the front. The second row is nice too
