    In 1331 the builders of the hill fort, the Lords of Eichhicht, were mentioned for the first time. The castle was first mentioned in 1383 as the seat of a Holbach zu Eichicht. From 1945 onwards, following expropriation, the castle became public property and served first as a retirement home, then from 1948 to 1963 as a children's recreation home and from 1963 to 1990 as an apprenticeship home for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. It has been privately owned since 2015.

    The store is currently being renovated but is open. Looks inviting.
