The model for the detailed carving of Melampus is a very beautiful and interesting legend and has earned itself the title of protector of the castle.

At the Starkenburg there is a wooden figure of Melampus. The melampus is a legendary figure. This dog is said to have defended the Starkenburg and lost his life in the process. He probably still haunts and continues to fight against all evil.
