Bodendenkmal in Kößlarn, #D-2-7644-0005 stands in Kößlarn (Landkreis Passau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Turmhügel bei Hofreith is what remains of a medieval motte, now gone as a built structure, near the hamlet of Hofreith in the municipality of Kößlarn. The site takes the form of an oval mound roughly 90 by 100 metres, rising about seven metres above the surrounding ground, set within a wooded area between two streams that feed into the Pimmerlinger Bach. No standing structure survives; only the earthwork itself is visible, cut on its south-western side by a forest track.

  • The site lies in woodland, reached on foot via a forest track that skirts its south-western edge.
  • There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities associated with the site.
