Wildentierberg Castle (Ruin)
Wildentierberg Castle is a castle ruin on the high "Kugelbergle", about 1000 meters east of the monastery church of Margrethausen, a district of Albstadt in the Zollernalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg.
The hilltop castle was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Lords of Tierberg, mentioned in 1313, and abandoned around 1400. Later owners also included the Counts of Stauffenberg. In 1931, foundations were uncovered on the castle grounds. Wildentierberg Castle was one of three castles that belonged to the Lords of Tierberg.
