Burgstall Bürgle

The Postal Bürgle is located in the town district Bürgle of market forest , in the district of Unterallgäu in Bavaria . In the place of today's castle stable was formerly the seat of the forest lordship.

As early as the 12th century, Guelph servants , the lords of Soler (Solare) , were probably here . The castle is mentioned around 1474 when it was owned by the Lords of Riedheim von Angelberg, but in their feud for the rule of Schwabegg with Duke Wolfgang von Bayern it was destroyed in 1477. The castle was subsequently not rebuilt, as Konrad von Riedheim probably had a castle built in Irmatshofen (the northern part of the municipality of Markt Wald).

The Burgstall is located on the western edge of the hamlet of Bürgle on the eastern side of a steep slope of the Zusamtal. A U-shaped, partly filled trench, cuts a rectangular plateau about 32 by 49 meters out of the slope. At the north-west corner there is a modern water reservoir , during the construction of which masonry was found.
