Around 1350 the fiefdom directory already mentions a castrum, which proves that at that time it was already a two-part moated castle, separated into a fore and a main castle, whose floor plan has probably been preserved to this day.
The oldest part of the castle is the west wing with the stair tower, which hides a stone spiral staircase inside. Its construction is dated to the early 15th century.

A short detour from the Ertfradweg leads to this overgrown castle in Bodenheim

My opinion: Nice, you can incorporate it into your route, but you don't necessarily have to. You are not allowed to enter the property and the view of the castle is restricted by the botany. The property is a bit overgrown. Only worth it for absolute castle fans.
