The castle has been throughout centuries withstood sieges, renovations, and excavation. Remnants of the medieval past still can be admired at Starkenburg today, with enclosures, warder's house, walls, and a chapel. Much of the castle is still in ruins, although it was partially renovated in the 19th century. Along with the castle, the nearby Burg Ellers is also a popular attraction in Heppenheim. The Ellers has many highlights, including a moat, fountain, gates, towers, and beautiful views of the town. Both Starkenburg and Ellers are a beautiful reminder of Hessen and Germany's history.
