Unfortunately, the Loch castle ruins are currently closed and cannot be visited. It is an extremely rare cave castle, two caves in the slope were connected and walled, so that living quarters were created inside the rock.

The castle was built around 12-14. Century. The exact year of foundation is not proven. Built by the Lords of Rammelstein to protect a hammer mill. Unfortunately, the area is completely fenced and can not be committed anymore.
