The Philippsburg was built before the Löwenburg and was not as big as the Löwenburg. It was built by Count Philipp zu Virneburg. The keep can be viewed from the inside, but cannot be climbed.

Immediately at the keep is a secluded spot on the bank it can stay well and the view over the place can wander.

The tower of the upper castle is unfortunately not to climb, but you can go in. There is a nice bench to rest with great views of the castle opposite and the old town of Monreal.
