Description

Reichenberg Castle may have been built around 1150, but it was documented first time in 1307. It was enlarged in the late 14th century and Gothic chapel of St. Michael was also added then.

The old castle was rebuilt in the early 16th century, it was besieged in 1622 and rebuilt again in 1723. Later it was left to decay. Today it is used by Christian Reichenberg Fellowship community.
