history

The castle was built by the knights of Stallegg. These are first mentioned around 1250 and occur until the end of the 14th century. In some sources, Heinrich III. von Stahleck , Bishop of Strasbourg, named as a member of this family. However, this can be called incorrect, it came from Stahleck Castle near Bacharach. In 1292 a member of the Lords of Blumberg or a sideline is named as the owner. They later shared the castle with the Lords of Almshofen and the Lords of Bern. At the beginning of the 15th century the von Almshofen are the sole owners, in 1510 the lords of Reckenbach. The castle later fell to the Counts of Fürstenberg . In 1509 it was called the Burgstall , in 1593 it was called Schloss und Burgstall . The nearby, still existing Hofgut Stallegg belonged to the castle. A wall has been preserved from the former castle complex.

Surroundings

The small remains of the wall are on a steep slope not far from the Wutach Gorge . The Wutach is crossed here by the Stallegger Bridge , before the construction of which a ford was used in the same place , and the castle was probably built to protect it. The Stallegg river power station and the 300-year-old Stallegger Tanne , a protected natural monument , are also nearby .
