"The Lords of Sigberg first appeared in documents in 1255. They were originally servants of the Montforter in Feldkirch, later predominantly the Montfort-Werdenberger, from which developed a tense relationship with Feldkirch After the raid of Count Rudolf III., Some of them sought protection on Sigberg This in turn may have been the reason for the destruction of the castle on May 1, 1358. Reconstructed, it was again destroyed by Count Friedrich Toggenburg 1435th Only the chapel built in the courtyard, the martyr Platzidus consecrated, was still in 1637 in use.

While the rocks of the Bergfriedschutt cone are still present for a tower about 20 meters high, those of the ring walls and the other buildings in the castle courtyard are missing as far as possible. They have certainly been burned to lime in the nearby kiln.

Since 2001, the municipality Göfis has been carrying out the renovation of the Sigberg ruin in cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office, the State of Vorarlberg, the castle committee of the National Museum Association and the organization committee for the preservation of the Sigberg ruin.

The renovation of the castle ruin can be supported by the purchase of castle stones and by personal cooperation on the castle construction site.
