Burg Triberg, Medieval castle in Triberg im Schwarzwald, Germany

Burg Triberg is a ruined spur castle on a hill spur southeast of Triberg im Schwarzwald, above the Gutach valley. Only sparse wall remains survive, in the area called the Burggarten next to the Kurhaus. Its layout and a pillar were uncovered during excavations in 1934.

The castle arose in the Middle Ages as a defensive stronghold and noble residence, shaping the regional history of the Black Forest for centuries. Its development reflects the changing political landscape of southwestern Germany.

The name Triberg first appears in a 1239 charter, where the ministerialis Peter von Triberc is listed as the last of 15 witnesses to a legal transaction between Count Berthold von Neuenburg and Bishop Lüthold of Basel. The castle itself was probably built by Burkhard I. von Triberg, and the site is now a sparse ruin within the so-called Burggarten next to the Kurhaus.

The grounds are accessible on foot, and the location allows easy orientation even for visitors unfamiliar with the area. Several hiking paths connect the site to other natural attractions nearby.

The ruin is easy to overlook: only sparse wall remains survive, and its ground plan and a pillar were uncovered in 1934 excavations. The remains lie in the so-called Burggarten next to the Kurhaus, not on a high vantage point above the valley.
