Probably built in the 16th century. The building is quite modest and, with its corner humps, points to a medieval building tradition. Above the entrance door the later chiseled coat of arms of the Birkenfels: a silver ring on a red coat of arms.

The historic roots of the castle go back to the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1629 it received its striking octagonal stair tower.
