The story of Tilly's castle is surrounded by legends,
That came to an abrupt end in 1807 and was razed. The mighty retaining wall and a few remains of the castle can be visited. A large Jesus cross can also be seen.
The valuable altar can be viewed in Lengenfeld.

There is not much left of the once great castle, but the ruins are worth a visit
The extent of the castle can be guessed because the edge walls are still standing
