Some of the remains of Rechenberg Castle / Westheim Castle can still be seen here. The castle was probably built in the middle of the 12th century. Today the structure of the terrain created by this former hilltop castle can still be seen, especially the main square and the (castle) moat. In addition, some remains of the wall can still be seen.

The ruins are slowly being reclaimed by nature. The sight is not impressive...
