Escheberg Castle Orangery

Highlight • Monument

The Escheberg Castle and estate has been owned by the von der Malsburg family without interruption since 1018! The family history itself probably goes back even further and is related to the former Malsburg.

Malsberg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

You can explore the old castle complex here even without direct paths. Remnants of the wall are visible and the structure of the former castle can be seen in the area.
