Sleep nearby

Burg Rheinsberg stands in Murg (Landkreis Waldshut), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Rheinsberg sits atop a 404 metre hill overlooking the Rhine valley, between Murg and Bad Säckingen in Baden-Württemberg. This former Habsburg stronghold was destroyed more than once and finally levelled in the mid 18th century, leaving almost nothing standing today. A visit here is really about the setting and the military history of the site rather than any surviving structure.

What to know

No visible structure remains of the castle, only slight ground undulations on the hilltop.
The site sits on high ground and requires a walk up from Murg or Rothaus.
There are no set hours, fees or formal access arrangements, as it is an open outdoor site.
This is better suited to a hike with historical interest than to a castle visit in the usual sense.
No information is available regarding accessibility or parking.
