The strong decline does not detract from romanticism. But it is also the reason for the fence around it.

The new castle was first mentioned in 1207. It was built on a sandstone cliff to the south. Only a residential tower and the ruins of the chapel built after 1250, as well as the barrel vault of the wine cellar, remain today.[4]

Until 1247 the castle was the seat of the Landgraves of Thuringia. After that it came into the possession of the Counts of Querfurt. The castle and the town were besieged and destroyed several times, for example in 1341 by Frederick the Serious. Also in the Saxon Fratricidal War from 1446 to 1451, the siege by troops of Elector Frederick II (Frederick the Gentle) led to new destruction.
