Das Schloss+
The castle was originally built as a knight's castle from 1230 to 1280. In 1417, the castle burned down and was subsequently rebuilt. In 1594, the tower was built. In 1696, ownership changed to Gotthard Quirin Graf Tattenbach zu Selbitz, in 1716 to Christoph Rudolf von Drechsel, in 1728 to Georg Heinrich Sigmund von Wallenrod, and in 1750 to Christian Ludwig Solger, who renovated the castle. In 1911, the castle housed a shoe factory. In 1938, another renovation took place. In 1953, the castle was converted into individual apartments. Today, the castle houses the municipal local history museum and a fire brigade museum.
