    After the castle was destroyed by fires in 1869 and 1906, the manor house was rebuilt as a Neo-Renaissance villa according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Graf Mörner. After a third fire in 1945, caused by released forced laborers from World War II, the castle was reduced to ruins. Baron Hunold von Nordeck zu Nordeck, who lived on the site with his wife until his death in 2004, had some of the buildings restored. The property has been unoccupied since 2004. It was acquired by the Stollenwerk family, owners of the canning factory of the same name. Since Josef Stollenwerk's death in 2016, the castle has been owned by a community of heirs. Until 2018, there were no plans for a new use, and the castle continued to deteriorate.

        Fascinating ensemble. Behind the chapel you can also find a stone from the former Roman water pipe😊👍
