The Gross-Geroldseck Castle was built on the rocky plateau that slopes down on all sides. The aim was to protect the Maursmünster Abbey. The castle was once surrounded by a strong ring wall, which can still be visited today. At the entrance to the castle you can admire the large keep, which has been preserved in its full height. In the northwest you will find a few outbuildings. In the south, however, parts of the castle are still buried under the ground and have not yet been explored.
