A dream of a ruined castle, I would have loved to see that in the 13th century

The upper castle existed as a military and residential castle until the Thirty Years' War. Her
Between 1870 and 1890 the ruin became a lookout tower and an inn
expanded in the neo-Gothic style. Since it was destroyed in a fire at Pentecost 1945
of the upper castle are the keep, the three-storey residential building and the circular
dig preserved as a ruin.
