Ruins of 2 castles, the upper one with a moat, the lower one with a dungeon, memorial plaque of the poet Von Chamisso on the spot
The ruin complex comprises two separate castles rising to 534 metres. The upper one features a moat and an attacking shield wall. The other features a square keep protecting a cramped dwelling. The former dates back to the mid-13th century, while the latter appears to be of later date (early 14th century). In 1636, a fire destroyed the buildings, which seem to have been neglected ever since. A commemorative plaque celebrates the Romantic poet Von Chamisso, who magnified the legend of the Nideck giants in Das Riesenspielzeug, translated as The Giant's Daughter.

belle balade et maginifque point de vue si on a le courage de monter tout en haut de la tour (attention escalier très raide et un peu dangereux)
