Burg Altentierberg, Medieval castle ruins in Lautlingen, Germany.

The fortress stands on a spur of Tierberg mountain at 863 meters above sea level, featuring remaining walls and an 18-meter-deep moat.

The Lords of Tierberg constructed this stronghold after 1150, with first written records mentioning its existence in documents from 1216.

The St Wolfgang Chapel within the castle grounds provided religious services, with records from 1360 indicating weekly masses conducted by Lord Heinrich von Tierberg.

The archaeological excavation of 1927 by church painter Konrad Albert Koch revealed the foundations and structural elements of this former fortification.

The curved moat that separated the castle from the mountain spur remains visible, along with traces of an outer bailey protected by additional trenches.
