    After changing owners, the castle has been abandoned since 1567 and left to decay. Some of the masonry may have been used for buildings in the area.

      The ruins of the castle Lichtenstein is located on a hill in the karst area on the southwest edge of the Harz, near Förste a district of Osterode. Of the remnants of the perimeter wall, apart from several small remnants, there is still a piece of significant height and width consisting of strong alabaster blocks. In August 2019 you will find the wandering stamp box of the Harzer Wanderadel.
