The prison is equipped like a prison of the Middle Age. Still today the mercenary leader Nikel Dachs of Hammerstein is arrested here(!). He raided the castle on behalf of his master Nikolaus von Lobkowitz in 1453 in order to force the saxon Prince Elector Friedrich II to pay his debts. But Friedrich sent an army of 3000 soldiers and forced Nikel Dachs to surrender, after which he was taken prison in the dungeon of the castle.
