Tips

Siggi, die 🐌

It is in Burgjoss. Originally a moated wooden castle, first mentioned as well as the place in 850 in documents from the Fulda monastery.
In 1160 a sandstone castle was built in place of the wooden castle, and in 1573 the Renaissance moated castle, which is still preserved today, was built on top of the older masonry. Parts of the semi-circular tower remain from the Middle Ages, the walls are up to 4m thick.
The moats were leveled over time.

The seat of Hess. Forestry office with an almost endless past, countless renovations (formerly moated castle) and a list of owners that Von wrote...😉
