Altenburg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in St. Pauls, Italy.
The castle stands on a moraine hill called Paulsner Höhe, overlooking the Val Guardia valley with its remaining stone structures visible from afar.
Lord Egno I of Appiano started building the castle in 1189, and the Archdiocese of Trento completed the construction in the following years.
The castle served as the seat of the Altenburg Court until 1525, with judges presiding over cases affecting large sections of the Appiano region.
The castle remains are privately owned and closed to public access, but visitors can contact the tourist office at +39 0471 662206 for information.
The castle formed a defensive pair with nearby Guardia Castle, controlling strategic pathways through the mountainous South Tyrol landscape.
