Siersburg (Burg) stands in Rehlingen-Siersburg (Landkreis Saarlouis), in Saarland, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Siersburg is the ruin of a medieval hilltop castle overlooking the confluence of the Nied and Saar rivers, in the municipality of Rehlingen-Siersburg. Once a territorial stronghold of the Duchy of Lorraine, it retains a square keep over sixteen metres high whose viewing platform, reached by an internal staircase, gives a wide view over both river valleys. Remains of walls, ditches and successive gates still trace the layout of the former castle, though much of it has since been levelled.

What to know

Climbing the keep involves an internal staircase of 83 steps up to the viewing platform.
Visiting the keep is only possible by prior arrangement.
The site is outdoors on a hilltop, so reaching the ruins requires a walk uphill.
