history
Around 1233–1237, the Counts of Wiehe, from the family of the Counts of Kevernburg , had a new castle built in the Rabenswald called Rabenswalde. It consisted of a bailey and a main castle , which were secured with a rampart. The castle served as the residence of the noble family , now called Count von Rabenswalde -Wiehe, and as the lordship of the county of Rabenswalde of the same name .
As a result of the Thuringian Count War (1342-1346), Rabenswalde Castle was destroyed around 1350 and razed to the ground. From the former two-part castle complex, only remnants of the 40-meter-long and 1.5-meter-thick defensive wall and moat are preserved.
