Burg Wildenstein

Schloss Wildenstein stands on a ridge extending into the Laabertal valley, featuring a two-story main building with a central projection and mansard roof.

The castle's foundation dates back to the 13th century, initially serving as the ancestral seat of the Wildenstein family before passing to the Lichtenauer and Toerring families.

The castle complex includes a converted chapel from 1556 with decorative plasterwork, a tower bay window, and an onion dome displaying regional architectural elements.

The castle maintains private ownership status, requiring visitors to respect boundaries while exploring the surrounding park with its 19th-century decorative architecture.

The northeastern section preserves medieval fortress walls and a stone-masonry viewing platform, reflecting the defensive structures of past centuries.
