description
The tower hill has a diameter of 25 meters and is about two meters high. Originally the hill was surrounded by two moats. Today only the inner one is preserved and visible. During an excavation in 2013, the basement of a building with a side length of about six meters was found and recorded in the core of the hill. From the determination of the tree ring data from the beam construction of the building, it was erected in the first half of the 13th century. The building was probably destroyed and abandoned in the second half of the same century.
