In 1750 they left their last inhabitants, which meant that Reichenstein Castle slowly deteriorated. Today it shines in new splendor - the medieval chapel is a popular venue for weddings and baptisms, and the castle has become a cultural and event center. Just turn up and look around. The mood is magical!

Reichenstein was no longer inhabited from 1750 and degenerated into a half ruin. Only the chapel with the epitaph by Christoph Haym was maintained and used by the church. From 1785 to 1816 it was the Reichensteiner parish church. The gate wing served as the vicarage, which was then preserved along with the northern flank tower. Today the medieval chapel is still popular for church celebrations such as weddings and baptisms.

Today the castle is a cultural center with its own program of events. Annual art exhibitions as well as music events, theater performances, various children's programs and sculpture projects take place in the open spaces of the area.

The wood carvings and handicrafts just behind the ruins are very nice to look at. There is sure to be one or the other decoration or gift idea for you.
