The castle appears in the records in 1433, its owners being named as the lords of Stiebar. All that is left today are two barrel vaulted rooms in the barn of the house. In the south wall there are arrow slits and to the west of them are the remains of a circular moat.

gollark: Oh, I assumed you mean you didn't care much about it, which would be a lie.
gollark: What?
gollark: You shouldn't really, unless you plan to lean heavily on dictatorial direct control. Make the other rules clearer.
gollark: Rule changes should occur if there are actual issues needing to be addressed. Some of these changes do indeed address issues people have raised, but as far as I can tell nobody has actually had an issue with advertising and cargo-culting unnecessary strict and unclear rules from larger servers is actually bad.
gollark: Again; do you actually have a justification for the advertising rule change beyond "all rules should be stricter because [things]"?
