    Beautiful inside. I know it from my childhood. I grew up right next to it. It was a drug clinic for women for a long time, sometimes with their children. There was even a kindergarten there and countless sheep grazed in the moat... For a few years now, it has been falling into disrepair since it was last used. The fate of many castles. Sold to investors and they don't give a damn.

    The first documented mention of the moated castle dates back to 1146. Between 1606 and 1622, it underwent extensive remodeling in the Renaissance style by Johann Friedrich von Schwalbach. In the 20th century, the complex was initially used as a hotel and later as a private clinic. Unfortunately, much to the dismay of the Mackenzell population, necessary renovation work on the privately owned property has been neglected for years.
