Medieval hilltop castle on a peak, irregularly rectangular in plan, upper castle presumably largely made of wood and timber framing, lower castle enclosed by a wall. - 1372 ("slosz Gryfenstein" in the treaty between Emperor Charles IV and King Wenceslas with Frederick, Balthasar, and William of Meissen), - presumably abandoned after 1372, - archaeologically investigated after 1969, From 1969 onwards, excavations by local historians Günter Schubert and Joachim Seyffarth uncovered traces of a settlement in the form of a castle, built around 1200 during the so-called great expansion of the region, on the Greifensteine. The finds included, among other things, crossbow bolt tips, horseshoes, and horse spurs, which are now housed in the Archaeological Archives of the Saxon State Office in Dresden. There are also two other documented references. According to an article by Leo Bönhoff, Greifenstein Castle is documented for the period 1349 to 1372.

Now, at an elevation of approximately 700 meters, past the mountain hotel, we see the Greifensteine (Griffin Stones). Unfortunately, we can't climb up, but we learn that the turnstile for the path to the viewing rock was damaged (September 9, 2024). There was once even a castle on the rocks, first mentioned in 1350.

The first documentary evidence was found around 1350 in the fief book "Friedrich the Strict".

The moated castle is also known as Hofwall and was probably built in the middle of the 12th century around 1162 to protect the road that passed by. The castle was destroyed during a Hussite invasion. Only the 14 m high tower, which is still preserved today, was preserved. It once had wooden structures and extensions. The moated castle served as a mansion for Leonhard and Nickel von Tannenberg around 1420. Parts of a broken bell were found in the remains of the castle complex in 1770, suggesting that the castle may have had its own chapel. In 1995 and 1996, conservation measures were carried out on the listed Passklausen Tower. The former water-bearing ditch has been preserved except for a section that was filled in in the northern area. The facility was placed under monument protection at the end of 1959.
