Bodendenkmal in Frontenhausen, #D-2-7441-0076 stands in Frontenhausen (Landkreis Dingolfing-Landau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The site known as the Turmhügel Rampoldstetten marks the former location of a medieval motte, in the hamlet of Rampoldstetten which belongs to the municipality of Frontenhausen. It lies roughly a hundred metres west of the parish church of St Nicholas. According to the old Bavarian cadastral survey, the mound once formed a nearly square truncated pyramid, surrounded by a moderately wide water ditch and, on three sides, an earthen rampart. The ground has since been completely levelled and partly built over, so nothing of the fortification remains visible today.

What to know

  • No visible structure remains, as the ground has been levelled and partly built over.
  • The site lies about 110 metres west of the St Nicholas church in Rampoldstetten.
  • This is not a site developed for visitors, so no opening hours or admission fees apply.
  • Whether this site is identical to the noble residence recorded in 1618 under Hans Wilhelm von Puechberg remains uncertain.
