• Fortress/Castle
From the castle courtyard, you can see the oldest part of the castle, completed in 1348, in the central wing.
In 1659, the complex loses its weir character and is converted into a stately home. The stair tower with the coat of arms stone above the portal and the east wing are listed. You can reach the castle museum on the upper floor via the elaborately designed staircase.

A traffic circle on the castle square with a lime tree is a reminder of the courthouse square, which is attested at this location. The castle barn to the west, now the town house, was built in 1744 as one of the farm buildings in the castle district on the site of a previous building.
