Burg Spitzenberg, Medieval castle ruin on Spitzenberg mountain in Kuchen, Germany.

The remains of Burg Spitzenberg stand at 665 meters elevation, displaying surviving wall sections from a traditional noble hilltop fortification.

Construction of the castle occurred around 1080, serving as the seat of the Spitzenberg family, who maintained connections with the Zähringer and Helfenstein noble houses.

The Swabian Alpine Association conducted excavations at the site in 1913, revealing artifacts that document medieval life in the Göppingen region.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails through the surrounding forest, offering views across the Baden-Württemberg landscape.

Archaeological findings from the castle, dating to the late 14th century, are partially preserved in the Geislingen Local History Museum.
