The Castle at Castle is an Outbound Höhenburg the type of moth (motte) at 457.7 m above sea level. NN on a foothill of the Galgenbühl on a hill above the Laubishof north of the Burg district of the Kirchzarten community in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district in Baden-Württemberg .
history
The history of this castle complex , as well as that of the castle stable at Galgenbühl located 300 meters to the north-west , is still completely unknown, written evidence that can be related to one of these two complexes is also not known. Possibly they belonged to the rule of the Falkensteiners from their nearby Falkenstein Castle above the Höllental . The nearby Wiesneck Castle , where the family of the Counts of Haigerloch was based, could provide an indication . Several property disputes between the families involved are recorded. The place name for the Kirchzart district of Burg probably refers more to the fortified Celtic settlement Tarodunum , which was in the immediate vicinity of the village, than to the medieval fortifications.
Presumably the tower hill castle (Motte) consisted only of a tower on a castle area of about 10 by 10 meters. Only the tower hill remains from the former castle complex. In 1975 a ditch could still be seen, ceramic shards found came from the period between the 13th and 15th centuries.
