Please help the wiki by expanding it. The Hornburg was a great
Gondorian fortress situated on the Hornrock, connected to the
Deeping Wall. Later it came into the possession of Rohan and the
master of Westfold dwelt there. It was called Súthburg in the
Rohan language. The Súthburg guarded a deep valley nestled in
the northeastern White Mountains. During the War of the Ring it
was commanded by Gamling the Old, and defended off a large-scale
attack from Isengard during the Battle of the Hornburg. It was
said among the Rohirrim that "no enemy has yet taken the
Hornburg", and it was considered the strongest point in Rohan,
stronger than Edoras and Dunharrow.
