The Falkenstein castle ruins are located high above the Ranna and were first mentioned in a document in 1140. Falkenstein Castle was once a large, strategically important castle complex and an important aristocratic seat. The dilapidated remains are currently being renovated and secured. The fortified tower built over a spring in 1489 is still accessible.
