In the 19th century, an lookout tower and restaurant were built on the top, but the wind destroyed them a year later. In 1896, the Society of Friends of the Castle Hill was founded, and at the beginning of this century, a replica of the castle with a restaurant was built according to the plans of A. Schwarzer. The original castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 – 1648). The current appearance is a romantic reconstruction from the end of the 19th century and serves as a hotel.
