"The Elmstein Castle, which characterizes the townscape, was probably built in the 12th century by Count Palatine Konrad to secure the path. The spur system was destroyed either in 1525 or 1688. The remains of the shield wall and the palace have been preserved."

"The castle ruins are privately owned. If you wish to view them, you are welcome to contact the owners (Gabriele Kratz and Joachim Kosubek) by email. Email: info@burg-elbenstein.de "
