Burgruine Sonnenberg, Medieval castle ruin in Nüziders, Austria
The castle ruins stand on a steep rocky outcrop at 614 meters above sea level, featuring remnants of a northern wall from its former residential tower.
Built between 1100 and 1200, the castle changed ownership in 1258 to the Counts of Werdenberg-Sargans and met its final destruction by Feldkirch mercenaries in 1473.
The structure represents a heritage-protected monument that exemplifies the medieval fortification architecture of the Vorarlberg region during the feudal period.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins throughout the year by following the marked path from Nüziders village, with information available at the local tourist office.
Archaeological excavations in 1930 uncovered original oven tiles, while restoration work in 1934-1935 preserved significant sections of the northern fortification wall.
