History+

The origins of Leckstein Castle date back to between 1100 and 1150, when it was constructed as a hilltop castle. Its heyday was limited, as its decline began as early as the 14th century. There is no recorded information about the original builders and inhabitants of the complex. The castle ruin is only mentioned again in 1544, in the context of a border description.
