    Nice castle, is now used as a youth hostel.

    The castle dates back to the 13th century, has changed hands several times and has been abandoned and uninhabitable since 1645. It fell into disrepair and was often used as a quarry.

    When work began to rebuild the castle in the autumn of 1933, it was nothing more than a meager and dilapidated ruin. Generous donations provided the financial means to rebuild it in 1934 and 1935 using plans by the castle builder Eugen Probst through a voluntary work service of unemployed young people.

    Although no longer in the original: the restoration for the sake of young people was a great thing!
