Bodendenkmal in Gerzen, #D-2-7440-0086 stands in Gerzen (Landkreis Landshut), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Turmhügel Mangern is what remains of a medieval motte, now vanished, near the hamlet of Mangern close to Schloss Gerzen. What survives is an artificial mound roughly five metres high, with traces of a surrounding ditch still visible on three sides. There is no historic structure left to see, since the wooden stronghold that once stood here burned down in 1850 and has since been replaced by a modern house.

What to know

  • This is an open-air archaeological site with no surviving medieval building to visit.
  • The mound and ditch traces lie about 300 metres east of Schloss Gerzen.
  • The site itself is now occupied by a modern house, which limits access to its surroundings.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as this is not a monument open to the public.
  • A visit mainly means viewing the shape of the terrain from outside the property.
