The Castle Today
The horseshoe tower has been the meeting place for the University of Kaiserslautern since 1987. The tower on the southeast corner of the official administrative office also houses a restaurant, the Knight's Hall, and in the administrative office building extension, a youth hostel. At the lower castle is a church that still conducts services for the parish of Thallichtenberg.
From the mountain keep, one can see the Remigiusberg monastery church and ruins of the nearby Michelsburg castle, as well as the Potzberg mountain.
