The first castle on the Rusteberg was first mentioned in a document in 1123, but was already destroyed again in 1160. Subsequent buildings and extensions by the archbishops of Mainz were carried out from the 12th century. In 1749 and 1750 the administration built Rusteberg Castle. In connection with this, the demolition of the previously intact castle began in order to use the stones as building material.

Hiking

The car can be left in Marth and go up to the clinic Rusteberg. From there the trail is signposted. On the few hundred meters you have three very beautiful views into the Eichsfeld and comes past thick, ancient linden. The ruin has been thoroughly renovated in recent years.
