documented mention around 1120, from 1258 onwards princely residence, 
blown up by the Swedes in 1645, remained a ruin until 1879, when it 
was renewed and furnished by Gangolf Kayser and Humbert von 
Walcher-Moltheim, who used Romanesque and Gothic elements collected 
from all over Europe and made the building an idealised model castle. 
It was completed in 1908 and contains valuable furniture and
