Castle explorers speak of a 'high mountain castle' when the talk is of the Uffoburg. And they mean that the Uffoburg is a castle from which even less is preserved than a ruin, so nothing. It was built around 896 and abandoned in the 10th century. Burgherr was count Uffo and castle mistress, his wife, the 'noble' wife Hilteborch or Hilborch. She was probably also the founder of the monastery Möllenbeck.

Little is known about the ramparts. The name goes back to a Count Uffo, who is said to have once owned this castle. Finds of potsherds point to a settlement in the 10th/11th century.
