On the summit of the Borberg, just below the observation tower and the Anton Günther mountain hut, there is a cistern carved into the rock. It is the only remnant of a hilltop castle that must have existed here in the Middle Ages. There is no documentary evidence of the castle. Who built it is unknown. However, it was certainly built as part of the settlement of the Ore Mountains in the 12th/13th century. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borberg_(Kirchberg)
