    Dating from around 1740, Altenplos Castle is a Baroque building erected on the remains of a late medieval castle. Designed by Johann Friedrich Grael, it was the residence of the Barons von Stein. The castle is distinguished by its impressive architecture, which combines elements of the Renaissance and Baroque styles. The castle is privately owned and not open to the public.
