Burgruine Wieladingen, Medieval castle ruin in Rickenbach, Germany
The castle ruins include a 30-meter-high tower, defensive walls, and remnants of a double gate situated on a rocky ridge at 540 meters elevation.
Built in the 12th century using ashlar sandstone blocks, the castle first appeared in documents from 1260 as property of Säckingen Monastery.
From 1984 to 1996, local volunteers of the Förderkreis Burgruine Wieladingen association worked to preserve the structure and maintain its historical elements.
Visitors can reach the ruins via marked hiking trails from the designated parking area along Landesstraße 152 between Rickenbach Wieladingen and Bad Säckingen.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed medieval artifacts including pottery shards, crossbow bolts, door locks, nails, and a small bronze candleholder.
