Of the once proud castle, only the old keep is actually preserved today. From the castle grounds around the tower you have a wonderful view of the vineyards and Kiedrich.

If you want to visit the tower, you have to register in advance. You can find information about this here: kiedrich.de/freizeit-tourismus/kultur-veranstaltungen/burgruine-sharpenstein.
