The Gothic castle from the 11th century is located on the mountain approx. 800 m above the bike route in the Rimbach district. The castle has belonged to the von Hanstein family since the beginning of the 14th century. The tower of the castle is accessible. From there, the view of the Werra Valley and the wide, hilly landscape of the Eichsfeld is very impressive.
