Stallegg Castle
Stallegg Castle, also known as Stacheleck, is a ruined hilltop castle at 776 m above sea level near the Göschweiler district of the city of Löffingen in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was built by the Knights of Stallegg. They are first mentioned around 1240 and appear until the end of the 14th century. One was Bishop of Strasbourg: Heinrich III von Stahleck. Then the Lords of Blumegg appear as owners. Later they shared the castle with the Lords of Allmendshofen and the Lords of Bern. In the middle of the 15th century, the von Allmendshofen were the sole owners, and at the beginning of the 16th century, the Lords of Roggenbach. In 1564, the castle fell to the Fürstenberg family. In 1509 it is referred to as a Burgstall (castle site), in 1593 it is called a Schloss (palace) and Burgstall. The nearby (still existing) Stallegg estate belonged to the castle. A wall remains from the former castle complex.
