Castle ruins of a two-part castle. A round tower and a square house stood on the southern crest of the hill. A farm building stood on the north crest of the hill.
In 1936 the ruins were excavated. The castle was probably built at the end of the 12th century and fell victim to a fire in the mid-13th century. The castle and the farm building were abandoned and fell into disrepair.
The few remains lie high above the Limmat valley in the middle of the forest on the hilltops. They are under regional cultural monument protection.
The path to the ruins is relatively steep and therefore caution is advised, especially after rainy days (danger of slipping).
