The Stiegelburg (Stiegl Castle) is an Outbound hilltop castle on 550 m above sea level. NN near the places Götting and Berbling 325 meters southwest of Unterstaudhausen in the municipality of Bruckmühl on the border with Bad Aibling in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim .
history
The Stiegelburg was probably already built by the Celts as a refuge . But one is not entirely sure of this assumption. There is clear evidence that the castle complex was used by the Romans and later by the Bavarians . Excavations found four copper coins, a lance tip and some shards of vessels that provide this evidence.
According to the opinion, the castle was used until the Middle Ages for the surveillance and control of the road that led from Vagen via Berbling and Dettendorf to Au . It is not known when the castle was destroyed.
Some local chronicles show that the castle stones were used to build the Pullach Castle and the Westerham church.
description
Nothing can be seen of the remains of the Stiegelburg. Only through the ground formations can one guess where the castle might have been before ( moat ).
An early form of agriculture were the Hochäcker . The structures of the high fields in the immediate vicinity of the Stiegelburg can still be seen very well today. You don't know exactly how old these fields are. Whether these were created in the Middle Ages or much earlier has not yet been discovered.
