      The former castle buildings have fallen into disrepair; only the massive keep with a diameter of 9 m and a height of 27 m is well preserved and can be climbed as a lookout tower by arrangement.

        The castle was built in the 12th century on the crest of a central cone in the middle of an old volcanic crater by the "Lords of Liebesberg", who were first mentioned in 1222.
        With the death of Friedrich von Lißberg in 1396, the Lißberg family died out. The former castle buildings have fallen into disrepair; only the massive keep with a diameter of 9 m and a height of 27 m is well preserved. The wall of the observation tower is approx. 3.5 m thick.
        The staircase runs up to the top of the tower in the walls.
        The high entrance to the tower is 9 m high; originally it could only be reached by a drawbridge from the residential building attached to the shield wall. After this building collapsed around 1824, an external staircase was added to the tower in 1865.
        The town hall of Lißberg now stands on the site of the old residential building. Today the castle with the town hall is used for events such as medieval markets, private celebrations or camps.
