Schneeburg, Medieval castle ruin on Schönberg, Germany.

The stone remains of Schneeburg Castle stand at 516 meters elevation, measuring 37 meters in length and 17 meters in width on the western summit.

First documented in 1312 under Friedrich von Hornberg's ownership, the castle transferred to the Abbey of Saint Gall in 1349 as part of regional feudal arrangements.

The ruins demonstrate the architectural practices of 13th-century German castle construction, with a rectangular layout and surrounding defensive moat system.

The castle ruins remain open for visits at all hours, though the terrain requires careful navigation due to the steep location and uneven surfaces.

The northwestern corner section rises to 13.5 meters, featuring a four-story tower with two preserved windows that overlook the surrounding landscape.
