The Aurach-Weg and Rangau-Querweg long-distance hiking trails run along the castle ruins.
The castle was built in the 14th century as the official castle of the burgraves of Nuremberg and was first listed in the oldest land register of the burgraves of Nuremberg from 1361 as "Ze Schaurberg under der Puerg". After the robber baron Eppelein von Gailingen had attacked the citizens of the imperial city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in 1377, he found shelter with Heinrich von Seckendorff, who at that time held the burgher's hat for the Nuremberg burgrave at the Schauerburg and was a distant relative of Eppelein. In 1388 the castle was destroyed by the imperial city of Nuremberg during the Cities War (1387-89).[1] In the 16th century the castle was used as a quarry.

From the former castle complex with a hill-like protruding main castle secured by a wall-ditch system and a southern outer bailey, the design of which could also indicate a tower castle or tower hill castle (motte) from the 11th to 12th centuries, which at this time from France spread across the whole of Central Europe, remains of the wall of the main castle and the U-shaped moat have been preserved.[2]

Beautiful trails all around. Only a few remains of the wall remain
