A visit to the Farnsburg Castle ruins is highly recommended and offers a magnificent panoramic view from the still well-preserved shield wall. It was the seat of the Lords of Thierstein and was built in the 14th century. A predecessor building is likely, but cannot be precisely confirmed.

Clear signage is provided, and brief historical information/stories, including barcodes, bring castle life to life.

Since the last renovation, there is also an organic toilet in the castle.
