The castle is privately owned and not accessible due to the risk of collapse.
The high wall can be reached via the farm road coming from the west.
Via the signposted serpentine path at the corner of Von-Gauvain-Straße and August-Gerlach-Straße next to the railway underpass, you can reach the castle at the Gauvain monument.
An overgrown and sloping path leads around the castle.

Gollenfels Castle
The castle was probably built on the ruins of a Roman fortification and was first mentioned in a document in 1156.
Around 1450 it was inhabited by Johann von Stein (Steinkallenfels / Kirn).
Here at the end of the 16th century Michael Praetorius is said to have written the version of "Es ist ein Ros sprung" (Es ist ein Rossprung), which is common today.
In September 1614 the castle was destroyed by Spanish troops and rebuilt 5 years later.

Gauvain Memorial
The small obelisk commemorates the Prussian lieutenant von Gauvain, who in March 1793 had the order to defend Gollenfels Castle against the French with 35 soldiers and 2 NCOs. Gauvain caused great losses to the French and did not surrender when the ammunition ran out.
Because of the name he was thought to be an emigrated French nobleman and he was dismembered with anger.
The monument erected for him was destroyed two years later.
The present monument was not erected until 1833.

A beautiful simple castle from the 11th century. A nice quiet place for a Päuschen.Auf and descent are highly recommended!

Great view! Unfortunately, the castle grounds can neither be entered nor viewed! The route around the castle and down to Stromberg is blocked by a sign saying "Danger to life" (as of Nov. 2021). Unfortunately, no circular route can be planned here at the moment. (Wasn't that dangerous at all 🙄)
