Not much of the castle remains except for the castle walls. There is a signposted circular path around the ruins. The walk to the castle is worthwhile just for the wonderful view of the Main valley and the northern Steigerwald.

Lots of half-timbered buildings in the town, and Keesgasse is a beautiful ravine along old cellars.

Today's "gatehouse" was mentioned as the lower gate as early as 1260. The current gatehouse is baroque and dates from around 1710. More details: https://www.markt-rattelsdorf.de/historical-torhaus-rattelsdorf file:///C:/Users/Rolf%20Udo/Downloads/TorhausTagdesDenkmals2019-1.pdf
