Fortunately, a large information board with a beautiful reconstruction of the castle has been erected here. Unfortunately, not much of the former castle remains.

Around 1930, the community included a naturalistic representation of a castle standing on a high rock in a shield-shaped frame in its official seal. Although the Stuttgart Archives Directorate suggested colors for this coat of arms on November 27, 1933, it was not awarded. After the Second World War, the community took over the family coat of arms of the extinct Counts of Sulz, under whose rule it had been in the Middle Ages. The coat of arms was awarded by the Württemberg-Hohenzollern Ministry of the Interior on June 8, 1949, and the flag by the district office on March 29, 1982.
