The first buildings on the conical Wassenberg (Old High German for steep mountain), which is 420.8 m above sea level, date back to around 930. The construction was commissioned by the Imperial Abbey of Hersfeld to secure the extensive holdings in the Arnstadt area.

No one there. I looked. The castle is definitely a feast for the eyes.
