The castle was first mentioned in documents more than 700 years ago. The ruins have been owned by the municipality of Birgland since 1998 and are being restored, among other things, with private funds.
The castle ruins are freely accessible at any time. From there you have a view from the Upper Palatinate Jura, part of the Franconian Alb, to the Fichtel Mountains.
Be sure to enjoy the view. There are also tables and benches there to rest.
