Bennoburg stands in Hildesheim (Landkreis Hildesheim), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Bennoburg was a High Medieval stronghold, now vanished, which once stood roughly 700 metres southwest of Hildesheim Cathedral in Lower Saxony. No remains survive today: the site later housed a Carthusian monastery and then a bathing establishment, before its memory was reduced to a street name. A visit here is thus more a matter of local history than of architectural discovery.

What to know

  • No building or ruin of the Bennoburg remains visible on site today.
  • The location is in Hildesheim, in the Landkreis Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, about 700 metres southwest of the cathedral.
  • The name survives only through the street called 'Bennoburg', so named since 1921.
  • The site later held a Carthusian monastery and then a bathing establishment, unrelated to any castle visit.
  • No information on protection status, opening hours or admission fees exists, since there is no monument to visit.
