History+

Originally built as Horningen Castle, also spelled Hörningen Castle, in the 11th or 12th century, the manor was initially an imperial fief. After it had been destroyed several times in the 13th and 14th centuries, the complex was expanded in 1588 by Dietrich von Bernhausen into a three-story Renaissance castle with two pointed gables.
