History+
The castle, built by the Counts of Berg for or by the vassal Dietrich von Jörgenberg, was first mentioned in a document in 1243 and was abandoned or destroyed before 1370.
Description of the remains of the complex+
Only rubble ridges and remains of ditches can still be seen of the former castle complex. They show an unusual and remarkably large floor plan: The core castle is rectangular, externally about 18 × 13 m with a transverse bar. On the northern narrow side, the rubble ridge is only low, indicating a ramp to the interior. This could have been the access – then the area up to the transverse bar would have been the inner castle courtyard.
