The 17th century castle now serves as an attractive town hall.

After the fire of 1494, the castle was expanded into a palace, and a granary was added later. The explosion of a powder store on May 29, 1621 made it necessary to build a new granary, which still exists today.

Its history has not yet been precisely researched. The palace received its current form in 1725 from the Princes of Schönburg. The so-called Prince Ernst Tower was not added until 1906. It remained in the prince's possession until 1956, when a grandson sold it to the city. Until the 1970s, it housed apartments and a doctor's office. From 1978 to 1980, it was converted into the town hall with a meeting pavilion. Source: Information board at the town hall
