The von Thüngen moated castle has a history of over 1000 years.

Too bad it is now apparently in decline.

The old moated castle near Burgsinn is always nice to look at.

Unfortunately, the owner of Thüngen (resident in France) lets both castles in his birthplace fall into disrepair. Although support was offered by the Landrat and Burgsinn to maintain the two facilities, they are increasingly falling into disrepair. The castle outside the town already has no roof. The purchased third castle Fronschlösschen is in top condition. The whole thing is very unfortunate.
