...well, the knight beats the princess. The view is strange. The place doesn't really stand out. But what wouldn't you do for your homeland. 😁

Very nice little group with kids. 5 km approx

From the former location of the castle you could previously see the movements on the two trade routes Cologne-Leipzig and Cologne-Frankfurt.

The area indicates an early historical rampart. The fact that there was a burial mound nearby until 1933 speaks for Celtic settlement. No documents about the castle could be found; apparently it no longer existed around 1300. What you can see are two (?) moats. Source: Gieleroth Chronicle

Vroneck Castle was intended to replace the old Nister Castle and serve to secure the former Cologne-Leipzig trade route, which led over the historic Nister Bridge from Marienstatt. However, the castle was never completed, but what remains of it is more than worth seeing.

The castle courtyard can be visited at any time. There is a game shop at the entrance to the castle courtyard.

The castle, first mentioned in a document in 1255, is enthroned on a rock above the mouth of the Elbbach in the Sieg. It is privately owned, so you can only admire it from the outside. The quarry stone and brick buildings have slate roofs and the upper floors are partially clad in slate. Very impressive and definitely worth seeing.
