Very well preserved ruin. Wonderful foresight. Historical: history The castle was the ancestral seat of the Barons von Signau. The family was first mentioned in 1130 under Werner von Signau. The castle served to protect and control the route between Emmental and Aare valley. In the middle of the 14th century the castle was given up in favor of Neu-Signau Castle.
The ruin is comparatively well preserved (remains of the wall).
