The ruins are dominated by its massive castle tower. With its still preserved height of 18 meters and its impressive wall thickness of 4.50 meters, it conveys an impression of strength, power, and durability. The castle was built in 1190 by Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, certainly not least to demonstrate his power externally and to assert his presence internally.
