Sommerschenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very nice castle waiting for restoration. It's a shame if it would expire.
Unfortunately, you hardly have any insight.

A defense tower from the Middle Ages, very well preserved and accessible, from which you can see a great view of the valley and maybe the Lappwaldsee.
Only the wind turbines in the background interfere with beautiful photos.
