The castle, built around 1115, was already badly damaged in 1525, during the Peasants' War. The final destruction took place by Swedish soldiers during the Thirty Years' War. Only a small ring wall remnant on the Schloßberg plateau has survived.

If it weren't for the sign, I would have passed by here without noticing. The remains of the wall are sparse, with a little imagination I can well imagine a castle here 🏰
