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.

Don't expect too much... a few isolated remains of walls... a bench... That's it... nothing more remains of this outer bailey
