Burg Althornberg, Medieval castle in Triberg im Schwarzwald, Germany.
The castle stands at 786 meters above sea level on a steep mountain ridge overlooking the Gutach River and facing the Niederwasser district.
Adalbert von Ellerbach constructed the castle around 1100, which later passed through ownership of the Lords of Hornberg, Lords of Triberg, and House of Habsburg.
The remaining castle grounds contain wooden beam supports, a water cistern, and a rock chamber that represent medieval architectural techniques.
The castle location near the junction of Tiefenbach Valley and Schwanenbach Valley made it an effective control point for regional trade routes.
The Lords of Hornberg built a guard tower at the northern end of their territory on Turmerberg hill to monitor commercial traffic.
