Burg Güggelsperg stands in Bonndorf im Schwarzwald (Landkreis Waldshut), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Güggelsperg was a small hilltop fortification that has completely vanished, once standing on the summit of the Güggelsberg above the Wutach gorge. Its origins remain uncertain, possibly commissioned by the Abbey of St. Gallen, and it likely consisted of nothing more than a timber tower enclosed by a palisade. No visible remains survive today, making this a destination of interest mainly for those drawn to local history and forest walking rather than to an actual castle visit.

  • No visible remains of the castle exist on site today.
  • The Güggelsberg summit reaches 754.2 metres, overlooking the Wutach gorge.
  • The location lies within Wutach-Ewattingen, about 800 metres north of the centre of Wutach-Münchingen.
  • Access is only possible on foot via forest paths in the area.
  • No protection status, opening hours or admission fees apply, since the site has no developed ruins to visit.
