Ruine Altwildon & Neuwildon

The Castle

The names of the ruins Alt-Wildon and Neu-Wildon are merely recent orientation names and have little historical background. There were a total of four castles directly near Wildon. And possibly even a fifth castle - the almost legendary Hengistburg, where it was still not certain where it once was. It would have to be dated to the Carolingian period, perhaps around the year 850.
The two ruins of Alt- and Neu-Wildon are now freely accessible and lie in a sunny and bright location on the plateau of the Wildoner Mountain.

Help for the tour

The virtual tour is best experienced in full screen (double click on the image or click on the button at the bottom right), on a large PC monitor with headphones or speakers. Simple reconstructions of the former building structure become visible under the mouse cursor (or when touching the touchscreen). Small details are pointed out using information symbols.
At the top right, an orientation plan and/or a map can be activated, at the right edge the music can be set to mute, a compass can be hidden or shown and switched to English.
If you activate the home button at the top of the screen, you get to the aerial photo/overview and back again.
The tour, like all the others, can be experienced with VR glasses such as a Quest 3. Without additional software – simply enter the URL of this page in the browser of the glasses, activate the VR button that is then visible there – done.
