Ruins of Burgstall

The castle was believed to be lost. It is rarely mentioned in documents. During the 1960s, the ruins were partially uncovered during the construction of a supermarket.[citation needed]

The castle was built at the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th. Masons' marks are evident. The remains indicate an octagonal structure. The castle is located in 124 Rue de la République, Guebwiller, and is private property.[1]
