    One of the castles that you visit on a hike on the Werra-Burgen-Steig. The medieval castle was once the seat of the office Frankenberg, but after relocation of the seat was the castle uninhabited and was set on fire during a peasant revolt. The castle ruins served as a quarry in the following years and today only the foundations of the ring wall and the palace are preserved. The better preserved keep was renovated in the 1980s and today serves as a lookout tower.

      Unfortunately, the keep is currently not accessible.
