The moated castle Breitenlohe is famous , the core of which dates from the 15th century and was expanded in the 16th century. It has a square floor plan, a rectangular courtyard and has four three-story wings and round corner towers. To the east, in front of the castle, there are farm buildings assigned to the castle with a stable building and a barn from the 18th century. There was a prison in the southwest tower.

The moated castle was first mentioned in 1340 when it was owned by Albrecht von Hohenlohe . In the 14th century, the nobles von Vestenberg followed , who converted the moated castle into a castle that was destroyed in the Peasant Wars around 1525. Kunz Christoph von Vestenberg had the current castle built from the remains from around 1569. In 1592, the indebted Sigismund von Vestenberg sold the castle and estate to Lorenz von Münster zu Lisberg . Under this family, the castle was partially baroque. In 1783 the castle and corridor were sold to the Counts of Castell . In 1942 it was bought by the water works entrepreneur Georg Jaeckel, from whom the current owners, the Friedrich family, inherited it; they restored it in several phases.
