Burg Sulzberg, Medieval castle ruins in Sulzberg, Germany
Burg Sulzberg sits on elevated ground with a Romanesque residential tower and a defensive watchtower called the Bergfried, surrounded by remaining stone walls. The layout displays the typical arrangement of a medieval fortified structure from this period.
The castle was first recorded in writing in 1176 as a residence of the Knights of Sulzberg. It changed hands in 1358 when it passed to Marquard I of Schellenberg following the death of Konrad.
The name refers to the hilltop location above the village of Sulzberg. Inside the Bergfried tower, visitors can see medieval objects that show how people lived in this place long ago.
The site is best reached on foot from the center of Sulzberg village, as the castle sits on a hill above the settlement. The paths to the ruins can vary depending on weather and season, so appropriate footwear is recommended.
From the Bergfried tower, views open across the Oberallgau region with its forests and rolling hills. This vantage point was once strategically important for monitoring the surrounding land and spotting threats early.
