The Martinsburg, built at the end of the 14th century on the banks of the Rhine with a strong hexagonal keep, was a toll castle. The picturesque building complex was erected together with the town fortifications. The pointed arch gate in the east wall still shows a delicate machicolation with a coat of arms. The further tower and building parts were created in the 14th and 18th centuries.

Today, the castle is privately owned.
