description

The castle site on the Weiherwiese is around 460 m above sea level. NN height on the valley floor of the only slightly deepened depression of the Mühlbach , a tributary of the Gleitsbach . It is located immediately to the west of Pirker Strasse and around 90 meters south of the small Trebsau Castle, which has also been abandoned today. A playground has been built on the castle site .

The tower hill, which is now leveled, was still recognizable in 1975 as an approximately oval and one meter high hill. Its diameter was 25 meters. At that time the tower hill was already heavily excavated, traces of a ditch were no longer visible. The marshy lowlands at the time and the field name Weiherwiese suggest that the facility was located in a pond or was protected by a pond.
