The Ginsburg was for centuries a frontier fortress of the Nassauer, until it decayed in the 17th century. In the 1960s, the main tower was remodeled from remnants of the ruin and provided with a viewing platform. Today, weddings, seminars and school events are held on the premises of the tower. There is also a coffee shop in the tower area.

An interesting medieval castle ruin. Unfortunately, not much is left.
The tower has a "Green Classroom" and a wedding room. From the tower you have a crazy view of the Siegerland!
