    Former Turmhügelburg with ramparts and moat, 1214 is a knight Evard de Meyssemburg mentioned in a document - but elsewhere that this place (Meyssenbruch) was destroyed in 1369 - from the still recognizable soil traces it was probably a pre-and Main castle with a rectangular ground plan ... the plant is located about 200m above the path "Hasenstrauch" - on the walk extreme care is needed - everywhere lurking Stacheldrat in different heights ... a few years ago carried out exploratory excavation should have been discontinued immediately It turned out that the ruins were temporarily used as a dump ... nice view over the Tiefenbachtal 🌄
