The small tower ruin is apparently the only thing left over from the former moated castle.

The former moated castle of Vehlefanz is a successor to the castle on the castle rampart from the 13th century, which stood on the castle hill that is still visible today a few meters further to the northwest. From 1375 onwards, the village and castle were owned by the von Redern family, who replaced the old castle with a new moated castle. The further course of history is unclear. It is unclear when and why the castle was destroyed or whether it was simply abandoned. What is certain is that it no longer existed in 1786, as an office building was built to replace the castle. The stones of the former moated castle were also used for this. Today, all that remains of Vehlefanz Castle is a small tower ruin.

Very small ruined tower. Can almost be overlooked.
