History+

The origins of the main castle date back to the 15th century, while the outer bailey was built in the 17th century. The complex served as the meeting place for the Niederheiligenhoven feudal and manorial court. Access to the outer bailey was once via a bridge. A part of the castle's southeastern section collapsed in 1929.
