It just makes me sad when places are or have been wiped out because of mining or, as here, a dam.

History:
In 1331, the builders of the Höhenburg, the lords of Eichhicht, were mentioned for the first time. The castle was first documented in 1383 as the seat of a Holbach zu Eichicht. For the year 1464 a castle chapel is handed down in writing.
When the castle came into the possession of the family of Beulwitz, a Thuringian noble family, is not known. It was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years War.
1696 took place a large-scale reconstruction of the castle, which indicates a year in a fireplace. In 1873 it was described as forfeited. After vacancy, the plant was restored from 1920 to 1923 to plans by Bodo Ebhardt by the Reisner family.
From 1945, the castle was after the expropriation of the owner public property and served first as a retirement home, then from 1948 to 1963 as a children's rest home and from 1963 to 1990 as an apprentice residence of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. From 1978 to 1984 various renovation work with roof repair, new windows and tower repair took place.
In the years 2000 to 2015, the castle was inhabited by Burkhard Berndt and Constanze Dölz and offered as a holiday home. In 2015 it was acquired by Max Buchholz (Wikipedia).
