Description

Unfortunately, nothing is left from the 12th century when it was founded, due to the conflict with the city of Friedberg from 1272 to 1275. The oldest preserved buildings are the fortifications built between the 14th and 16th century. It changed in the 17th century and became a stately home. Palace, a garden, a church, a guardhouse, a smithy and a school were added.

"Adolfstower": April - October; Saturday/Sunday/Holidays 14:00 - 18.00 o´clock
