It is the main landmark in Reichsborg. King Nikolaus VI lives here with his family. He was also born here.
In 1728 the castle suffered significant damage due to the Burwood Wildfires. The wooden timber and interior were gutted by the fire, and the loss of stabilization caused much of the bulwarks to collapse. The remains of Otto Eisenmann were found in the castle ruins when Moorland's firefighting teams arrived to extinguish the fires. Taken over by Moorland following the annexation of Ostland, the castle was deemed historically and culturally significant and declared a protected site. Under that designation funding was made available for the castle's restoration; although private donors have also helped to fund the project. In late 1728 the initial phases of reconstruction began.
