Ruine Siegburg stands in Börstingen (Landkreis Tübingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ruine Siegburg sits at the tip of a rocky spur above a bend of the Neckar river, facing Sulzau near Börstingen in Baden-Württemberg. Probably built in the early 11th century by the lords of Siegburg, it fell into decay after that period, and its stones are thought to have been reused to build the nearby Schloss Weitenburg, to which legend even attributes an underground passage linking the two sites. Of the former trapezoid-shaped enclosure, only a stretch of wall and the surrounding ditch remain today.

What to know

  • The site consists only of a wall fragment and a ditch, with no standing building to visit.
  • Access is via a path leading to the rocky spur overlooking the Neckar river.
  • No verified information is available regarding opening hours, fees or accessibility.
  • The surroundings offer a view over the Neckar valley and Sulzau below.
