 This lowland castle was once a Bishopric of Verdun holding, is believed to have been built about 1180 and had its first documentary mention in 1303.A 1415 certificate of enfeoffment describes the extent of the castle, the tower, the moat and the bailey.Investigations in the early 1980s yielded the finding that old building work stretched from the tower along the "Weiherpfad" (path) almost all the way to Hauptstraße (“Main Street”).
