The former castle house was expanded into a palace in the 16th and 17th centuries. The castle was named after and in memory of the former owners of the ancestral castle, the Lords of Wiltberg.

Hiking

Via the Moselsteig to the pilgrimage church of Bleidenberg is a recommended route with wonderful views. The church decorated inside on the occasion of Pentecost is a must
