from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The facility is clearly visible on the land map from 1829 on the left edge of the picture.

Wäldershub Castle was a former moated castle in the Wäldershub district of the Fichtenau community .

From the castle , formerly three-winged with a property opposite in the corner and four now demolished towers (on the corners in the south and west, the inside in the north and the inside in the eastern entrance area), only very small remains of an agricultural property are visible. including a number cartouche from 1793 and a keystone of the gateway with remains of a coat of arms.

The castle was probably built by a member of the Dinkelsbühl patrician family in Berlin, who called themselves for a time after Wäldershub. You first appear here with Lazarus Berlin in 1465 as being wealthy.
