Be sure to walk around it and look into the inner courtyard! The castle, once surrounded by a moat, was built between 1570 and 1576. It replaced an old castle. The moat around the castle is no longer filled with water. A stone bridge leads into the inner courtyard of the castle, a wooden drawbridge used to do this.
In the last century the building was used as a school and town hall. In 1965 it was renovated. Today it is the seat of the Kirchhausen Citizens' Registration Office.

The fountain in front of the castle was built in 1994-95 according to a design by Karl Henning Seemann and depicts Saint Nepomuk. The coat of arms stone is a replica of an old border stone and dates from 2006,
