The history of the Old Rock Cellar at the Waldeck Castle Ruins is fascinating: The Old Rock Cellar was used as an underground storage facility in the Middle Ages and is carved into the rock. There are legends that say that the cellar may have been a pagan place of worship dedicated to the goddess Nussa. The Waldeck Castle Ruins themselves are an impressive hilltop castle that was first mentioned in documents in 1124. It was one of the oldest castles in the Upper Palatinate and served as a place of refuge and fortress over the centuries.

A basalt cone about 641 meters high around five kilometers east of Kemnath made history. One of the oldest castles in the Upper Palatinate was located on its summit. Waldeck Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1124. The castle complex has been excavated and restored for several decades. The Waldeck Local History and Culture Association has contributed a large part to this. Regular services are held at the St. Ägidius open-air chapel, and theater performances are also held here every year on an open-air stage with 300 seats. Performances by the Upper Palatinate State Theater are now part of the permanent cultural program.

The origin of Waldeck Castle, which towers above the vaults, has also been glorified as a legend: reports from the 19th century contain the legend of an allegedly pagan cult site of the goddess Nussa on the mountain, as well as the belief in Roman-Jewish roots of the castle, since a stone with a Hebrew inscription was allegedly found on the castle grounds in the 17th century.
