The Siegburg ruins are the remains of a spur castle on the 465 m above sea level high mountain spur "Sommerhalde" opposite Sulzau. The castle was probably built at the beginning of the 11th century by the Lords of Siegburg. In 1060, the castle was mentioned as part of a pilgrimage by Berno von Siegburg and was plundered by his brother Arnold during this time. The castle probably fell into disrepair after the 11th century. The remaining stones were probably used to build the nearby Weitenburg Castle, from which an underground passage was supposed to lead to Siegburg Castle. Of the former castle complex on a trapezoidal area measuring 75 by 21 to 45 meters, only a remnant of the wall and the moat remain.

Today we went for a short walk in the snow. We postponed our planned trip to Siegburg Castle due to the weather. Towards the end, the sun finally came out.
