The Alte Zarge castle is located where the Deubach valley flows into the Kocher valley. All that remains of the castle today is the massive shield wall and barely recognizable remains of a silted-up moat. The castle was originally over 500 square meters in size and was located directly between Nagelsberg castle and Lichteneck.

A ruin shrouded in legend. Possibly an outpost of Lichteneck Castle. But more likely a manor house.
The legend of the ruin can be found on a nearby plaque.
