The Thurberg was a hill fort and open space northwest of the municipality of Weinfelden on the Ottenberg in the Swiss canton of Thurgau .
The castle was the seat of the Lords of Thurberg and is first mentioned in 1275 as Turberch . In the 14th century Thurberg was owned by the Barons von Klingen and from 1395 to 1413 belonged to the Barons von Enne. In 1413, Thurberg is referred to as the Burgstall and an abt-saint-gallic fief . From 1413 to 1463 this was in the hands of the Lords of Tettikofen and came one after the other to the Lanz von Liebenfels , the Lords of Schellenberg and von Schwarzach. Thurberg comprised the castle, castle stables and the Twing and Bann in 1575 . The patio, newly built by Georg Joachim Zollikofer in 1644, was destroyed by a storm wind in 1645. The castle with domed towers built in its place was owned by the Högger family from 1711 to 1756, and then by the Wegelin family of St. Gallen. In 1827 lightning partially destroyed the castle.
