Starting from a tower building from the middle of the 14th century, the complex was rapidly extended in the early 16th century to a four-sided building complex with an inner courtyard with attached arcades. The ensemble also includes an outbuilding standing close to the castle. Probably around 1600, a enclosing wall with four corner towers was added around the ensemble. The castle is of special importance because of two well-preserved blockwork chambers. Apart from a few baroqueizing changes in the 17th century, hardly any fundamental alterations were made, so that today in Unterzeiring still a more or less unchanged Renaissance castle is standing. Since 2016, comprehensive excavations, building research, conservation and restoration have been carried out there; these investigations are accompanied by various natural scientific analyses such as dendrochronological investigations, 14C- dating and geophysical prospections. In this article the first summarizing results will be presented.
