The castle burned down in 1753.

The old castle walls are still relatively well preserved. The ruins testify to an imposing building that was built in 1514 by Count Botho III of Stolberg-Wernigerode. erected castle.
Right at the entrance to the park, large display boards provide information about the history of the castle, which burned down to its foundations during the second major city fire in 1753 and was never rebuilt. Today, the site offers plenty of benches for rest and relaxation. If you take the stairs up to the ascent, you have a wonderful view over the market and Pfarrstrasse.

Interesting ruins of the former castle. But more could be made out of it.
