Oberburg (English: Upper Castle) or Oberstadt (Upper Town) is the upper section of the medieval municipality of Regensberg, Switzerland, which was founded as a hilltop fortified settlement.[1] The 13th-century Regensberg Castle is located in Oberburg, which is enclosed by the town wall, partly formed by two rows of houses which were constructed in the late 17th century.[2] Also within the square is a 57abbr=onNaNabbr=on-deep water well. Regensberg Reformed Church overlooks the main square. Beside it is the round tower (German: rundturm), the only remnant of the castle.
Oberburg is separated from Unterburg (lower castle), likely built in the 14th century, by a gate.[3]
