Schloss Saulburg, Medieval castle complex in Saulburg, Germany.

The castle was first documented between 1150 and 1191 through records mentioning a person connected to the Sulperge family. It fell under the rule of Bavarian dukes from 1332 to 1482.
The chapel of St. Aegidius stands within the complex and shows Rococo details added in the 18th century. This space reflects the religious role the site held for the surrounding community.
The site is accessible by walking routes through the surrounding area. Visitors should know that parts of the grounds contain archaeological remains and some sections may have limited access.
The name comes from the Old High German word 'sul', meaning pillar, and this linguistic root appears in earlier versions of its name. The etymology reveals something about how medieval people saw and described the structure.
