From Oberlengsfeld, after the last houses, climb steeply uphill via beaten paths and you reach the castle ruins after a good 15 minutes. A surprisingly large remnant of the wall has been preserved. From the ruins, the Landecker can easily be crossed on the ridge.

The spur castle was built in 1234 by the Hersfeld Abbey as an official castle. 1317 a Hersfeld bailiff is reported in "Landecke"; after that, however, the office was often pledged in the 14th and 15th centuries - most recently to Mainz, from which it was redeemed in 1454. During the Peasants' War in 1525 there was considerable unrest in Hersfeld and the surrounding area. Landgrave Philipp von Hessen came to the aid of the abbot, who was in distress, put down the uprising and, to cover his costs, annexed large parts of the imperial abbey, including the Landeck office. The castle was probably destroyed at this time.

The remaining remains of the ring wall were restored and fortified in 1982.
