Sirgenstein Castle
The castle ruin Sirgenstein is a former rock castle on a more than twenty meter high rock at 614 m above sea level with a cave inhabited in the Stone Age, the Sirgenstein, between the towns of Blaubeuren-Weiler and Schelklingen in the Alb-Donau district in Baden-Württemberg.
Of the castle, presumably built in the 13th century, a wall remnant, a bossage stone, and the neck ditch can still be seen today.
