Bodendenkmal in Frontenhausen, #D-2-7440-0007 stands in Frontenhausen (Landkreis Dingolfing-Landau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

This site marks the location of a former motte, an artificial mound that once carried a medieval tower, in the hamlet of Witzeldorf near Frontenhausen. The parish church of Saint Margaret now stands on top of this roughly three-metre-high, nineteen-metre-wide mound, built at the edge of the Vils valley. Archaeological traces beneath the church point to medieval and early modern occupation, including remnants of earlier building phases. No standing fortification remains visible above ground.

What to know

  • No standing remains of the motte are visible above ground, only the mound carrying the present church hints at the site.
  • The location can be freely viewed from outside, as the surroundings of the Witzeldorf parish church.
  • Archaeological traces lie buried under and around the church and are not accessible to visitors.
  • There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities associated with this site.
  • A visit is limited to observing the mound and its immediate surroundings.
