Ingilinburg

The Ingilinburg even Trigelsburg and Frieselinburg called, is a Outbound medieval hilltop castle in the municipal area of the municipality Veilsdorf in Hildburghausen in Thuringia .

Discussion of the fallen Ingilinburg

In the northeast of the municipality on a small spur-like ridge of the mountain sloping to the southwest there was once the Ingilinburg, mentioned at the end of the 12th century, of which remains of the wall should still have been visible around 1940. Opposite it, above the Gottesackerkirche, stood the stone house called the castle , which served the knights and lords of Veilsdorf as their ancestral seat.

These defensive, well-fortified sites served the society of the time to preserve peace and protect people.
