Built around 1200 and probably left to decay for over 500 years. And so there is hardly anything left of this former hilltop castle today. A few remains of the ring wall with a few loopholes for crossbows, a so-called neck ditch (artificial cutting in the terrain that gave the castle a little more protection) that can be seen to the north - that's all that remains today.
Originally it served to guard the old road to the Pack. However, this was relocated in the late Middle Ages and the complex was therefore unnecessary. It was then replaced by the castle Neu-Leonroth a few kilometers away, of which much more has been preserved today.

The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double-click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Under the mouse pointer (or when touching the touchscreen) some simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible. Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, on the right edge the music can be muted, a compass can be switched on or off and switched to English.
The information symbol displays further descriptions of what has just been seen.
If you activate the home button at the top edge of the image, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. No additional software required - simply enter the URL of this page in the glasses' browser, activate the VR button that is then visible there - and you're done.
