The ruins of Alttrauchburg is one of the best preserved castles of the Allgäu. It is above the small hamlet of Weitnauer community in the county in Swabia Upper Allgäu. From the high-to post-medieval castle wall remnants still remain greater.

The hilltop castle probably dates back to a previous system and the Earl of Veringen Nellenburg. These festivals will appear for the first time 1041 in the written sources.

Around 1150, a branch of the lords of Rettenberg invested with the rule and called himself "from Trauchburg". Beginning of the 13th Century moved Berthold Trauchburg of the castle to its present location, and built a permanent house or a residential tower. As early as 1258, the feud passed to the Steward of Waldburg, who could purchase the debt from the 1306 rule count. The tower-like core structure has now been expanded and built upon. In the south, the roomy forecastle was pushed forward with the strong square tower.

During the Peasants' War, the Trauchburg was sacked in 1525 and damaged. 1546 The troops occupied the castle of the Smalcald League. For these reasons we put in the 16 Century, a kennel at the inner castle, which was reinforced by artillery roundels. The fixing of the outer bailey is enhanced on this occasion.

1628 were able to acquire the Imperial Count Waldburger title in 1690 and settled on her castle after Kißlegg. From 1729, we used the empty Trauchburg as a quarry for the new palace in Kißlegg. Other parts have been discontinued for the 1784-1788 construction of the castle at New Trauchburg Isny.

1772 died in the line of the Jacobin Waldburger with Count Franz Karl Eusebius. The inheritance went to the line of the Counts of Waldburg-Zeil. Even today, the castle has been owned by this family.
