Altgutenstein ruins
"Burgfelden"The castle was probably built in the second half of the 12th century.
The noble family of Gutenstein can be traced back to 1212/1279.
In 1303 the rule passed to the Habsburgs, who mortgaged it to the Magenbuchers in 1307, to the Ramspergers at the end of the 14th century, and to the Counts of Zimmern in 1455.
In 1595 the property returned to the Habsburgs.
The castle fell into disrepair and was demolished.
Remains of the walls of the residential tower, the lower castle and the moat are still there.Source: information board at the sitetranslated by
