Struppen Castle.

Information:

At the beginning of the 15th century, Struppen belonged to the Teutonic Knights. The construction of the castle, built from hard Struppen sandstone, certainly dates back to this period.

Lapidarium at the castle: Contains a collection of stones not displayed in a large museum.
