      The castle is beautifully situated a little way away from the town and can be admired surrounded by moats. Also interesting, a little further past the castle on the left is an old abandoned cemetery, where the nobles from the castle were buried in the old days, as well as a monument to the sunken knight who, according to legend, had made a connection with the devil and pursued escaped prisoners from the dungeon until the former swamp of the Rur pulled him into the depths.
