フィレンバッハの洞窟・トップ5

ウェルデン（アウクスブルク郡、バイエルン州）のシュネーブルクは、9世紀から10世紀にかけてマジャル人の侵攻から身を守るための避難城として機能した初期中世の環状土塁です。 この遺跡は、ウェルデンから南へ約1.5km、ラウゲンタールを見下ろす尾根の上に位置しています。 ここは、住民の避難場所および軍隊の集合場所として機能した重要な要塞でした。 要塞は木と土の構造物と堀で構成されており、東側はマジャル騎馬戦士に対抗するための典型的な段差構造を示していました。 今日では、土塁と堀が地上遺跡として保存されており、ルートヴィヒ・ガングホーファー周回ハイキングコースがこの地域を通っています。

The ringfort of Schneeburg is not the remains of a castle, but rather an archaeological monument that only reveals itself upon closer inspection. There were never any towers or stone walls here – the fortification consisted of earthworks, wooden palisades, and timber structures. Today, primarily ditches, ramparts, and the shape of the site are visible in the landscape. Historians assume that the oldest traces of Schneeburg date back to the Bronze Age. In the Middle Ages, it offered the local population protection from Hungarian invasions.

After a staircase, access to the castle

Beautifully hidden. Ideal place for a break

Two-story gable-roof building with octagonal corner tower with onion dome, built in 1613, altered in 1730; associated garden; 18th-century walling

The gate, with its two turrets and a very high-quality Madonna statue, was the original castle entrance. The Madonna, a beautiful Ulm Gothic piece, was donated by Prince-Bishop Christoph von Stadion.

Around 1590/95, the Augsburg patrician Albrecht von Stetten had a so-called manor house built. The castle, which still exists in its basic structure today, was probably built in 1613 when the Fuggers bought the Bocksberg estate at the beginning of the 17th century. As the stucco ceilings in the hallway on the upper floor prove, the building was designed around 1830 according to the taste of the time. From 1811 to 2005, the castle housed the Princely and Countal Fugger Foundation Forestry Office and was the exclusive center of the extensive Fugger forestry districts. The Fugger coat of arms embedded in the front of the corner tower is reminiscent of the history of the Laugna Forestry Office. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Laugna

Laugna Castle is located in Laugna in the Dillingen district. The two-wing complex with an octagonal corner tower is located in the middle of the town and is surrounded by a small park and partly by an impressive castle wall. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Laugna
