Burg Altgutenstein
Sigmaringen, Germany, Germany
Burg Altgutenstein, often mistakenly called Burgfelden, is a small medieval spur‑castle ruin near the village of Gutenstein in the town of Sigmaringen, in the Sigmaringen district of Baden‑Württemberg.
The castle lies on a hillside spur about 300 meters north of Gutenstein, roughly 640 meters above sea level, with clear views across the Danube valley, and was originally built in the 12th century as the local seat of the Lords of Gutenstein, first clearly mentioned in 1225.
By the 16th century it was already in decline and today only minimal remains survive, including traces of a small bergfried on a roughly 4.5 by 5.5 meter base, with the rest of the original structure largely gone. The site is freely accessible and integrated into the local landscape above the river, often approached on foot from Gutenstein as a quiet, historic hiking point rather than a reconstructed tourist castle.
