The Castle Alt-Schomburg , also a stronghold called, is a Outbound hilltop castle on 571 m above sea level. NN above the left bank of the Untere Argen , opposite the former Schomburg Castle above the right bank , in the district of Schomburg in the town of Wangen im Allgäu in the Ravensburg district in Baden-Württemberg .
The castle was built in the 13th century by the von Schauenburg family, mentioned in 1229 and destroyed before 1617. Former owners of the castle in the second half of the 14th century were the Counts of Montfort-Bregenz , Benz and Konrad Siber, citizens of Lindau from 1408 , and the Humpis von Waltrams family from 1549 to 1645 . The Counts of Montfort, as rulers once again, relocated the administrative seat of the Schomburg lordship to Schomburg Castle and no longer cared about Alt-Schomburg. In the course of the bankruptcy proceedings of the Counts of Montfort, the castle complex came to the House of Habsburg in 1779 with the Schomburg rule .
Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex, today's Hof Hochburg.
