Bodendenkmal in Kemnath, #D-3-6137-0107 stands in Kemnath (Landkreis Tirschenreuth), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Fortschau, a hamlet belonging to the town of Kemnath in the Landkreis Tirschenreuth, Bavaria, once stood a Hammerschloss, a manor house tied to a water-powered forge. The building has long since vanished, and only underground archaeological traces of the site and its earlier structures remain today. Over time the place served as a mill, an iron forge and later a weapons workshop before losing its industrial function in the early nineteenth century. There is therefore no standing structure to visit, only a buried archaeological site.

What to know

  • No structure is visible above ground, the site consists of buried archaeological remains.
  • The location lies near Hammergrabenstraße, south of Amberger Straße, in the hamlet of Fortschau.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, since there is no building or organized visit.
  • Physical access and parking conditions are not documented for this site.
  • The interest of the place is mainly historical and archaeological, tied to the region's former metalworking industry.
