The castle itself was super cool!!! So was the beer garden. The meal at the Castle Cafe could have been better. We had a party of 5. After being served salad, three of our meals came.

Important old roads run through the valley , particularly the Hohe Straße or Reffenstraße , which the castle was used to monitor. The old building occupies the area between the bay window of the new bower to the east, the hall building and the bakery. The core of the building probably dates from the 15th century. A portal on the courtyard side bears the year 1572. On the courtyard side there are only three Renaissance windows, which were probably added later. On the field side with the presumably older masonry, a covered loophole from the middle of the 16th century and a walled-up light niche for a toilet...
