Between the 11th and 14th centuries there were numerous buildings on the plateau, as evidenced by finds. Today, apart from the castle ruins on the plateau, all that is left is the course of former ditches or ramparts.
In the past, on Maundy Thursday, and today on Ascension Day, the current lord of the castle, Baron von Boyneburg, makes a "donation".
While it used to be bread and bacon, today it is only bread that the whole community was supposed to be fed and given gifts on the day of her death because of the legend of "The Lady of Boyneburg". An event that draws numerous participants up here every year.

The Boyneburg has always been a popular destination. Be it on Ascension Day or as a small hiking or mountain bike excursion. Maybe there is one or the other who can still remember the time when you camped on the Boyneburg and the next day everyone from the area came to the Boyneburg to catch bread.
