The Iburg dates back to a Saxon refuge from the 8th century. Local legends also claim that it was the site of the Irminsul. New research relates the mention of the castrum Juberg in the Franconian Imperial Annals for the year 753 to the Iburg near Bad Driburg, not to Bad Iburg near Osnabrück.
Archaeological research in 2000/2003 found two limestone walls in the western "Saxon Wall" that are attributed to the Saxon and subsequent Frankish castle period. On the outside, the wall was supported by mighty palisades dug into the rock.
