history

The time when the castle was built is unknown and there are no written records about it. It was probably a small aristocratic castle. The castle was built on a plateau above the Grundtal, it was surrounded by two moats and a wall. In the 17 by 22-meter castle area, the tower-like was Palas predominantly built of wood plant. It probably went out in the 14th century. Their function is unclear, because there was no trade route through the Grundtal. It is believed that Hausberg was one of the centers of the rule of the von Almsdorf family. The mountainous region of Krima , which adjoins it to the west , was acquired by the Teutonic Knights in Komotau as early as 1281 . The castle was probably an enclave of the Almsdorfers on the other side of the Grundtal until the 14th century. After the sale of the Neustein estate , it lost all functions and went out.
