Wildenberg Castle Site
This early medieval fortification was first mentioned in 1671 as "Purkhstall." According to records, many bricks were removed from the "Schanze" (fortification), and there are said to be foundations made of rubble stone. During forestry work around 1930, horseshoes and other iron remnants were discovered, indicating use until the early High Middle Ages. Excavations at the circular structure in the entrance area, possibly the site of a round tower, also uncovered wood remains dated to between 700 and 800 years old.
