History+

In the 11th century, Iberg Castle was built on the northeastern edge of the Iberg mountain. The original complex included a main building, a gate, two outbuildings, and a moat designed to protect against attacks from the south. As no written documents about the castle or its inhabitants exist, archaeological excavations are the sole source of information.
