The Little Castle was built in the 12th century as a bailey on the "few" or "smaller" mountain, the second volcanic vent. The castle's "little sister" was first mentioned in a document in 1248. For a long time, the Little Castle served as the seat of several Mainz Burgmannen families. In 1491 it was first referred to as a ruin.

The Wenigenburg, also called Brickberg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 317 m above sea level. NHN.
There are nice places to stay here.

The former splendor of the Wenigenburg can only be vaguely guessed at today.
Parts of the ruins have been repaired or reconstructed.
