The Altentierberg ruin is a castle ruin on a spur of the Tierberg near Lautlingen, a district of Albstadt in the Zollernalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg.
The spur castle was built after 1150 by the Lords of Tierberg as their ancestral seat, mentioned in 1216, and abandoned in the 15th century. Before the Thirty Years' War, the castle had already fallen into disrepair. In 1927, the remains of the castle were excavated by the church painter and castle researcher Konrad Albert Koch.
Description+
Of the former small, presumably towerless castle complex, wall remains and the up to 18-meter deep and arched neck ditch, which separated the castle from the mountain spur, are still preserved. In front of it was an outer bailey, which was protected by an arched ditch, which today can only be seen in remnants.
