Burg Altraderach

The castle site features a circular ditch bounded by an embankment, with steep hillsides on the eastern side and a high embankment to the north.

The Lords of Raderach constructed this fortress in the 12th century, with first documentation appearing in 1160 when Werner of Raderach witnessed a transfer of serfs.

The castle location connects to the story of Rosa von Tannenburg, influencing local street names like Fichtenburgstraße in Raderach and Tannenburgstraße in Unterraderach.

The core structure of the castle measured 20 by 21 meters, with visible remains including ditches, ramparts, and a forewall system still observable today.

The northern section maintains a 2.5-meter deep moat with an interruption at the northwestern corner, suggesting the original entrance location.
