Bodendenkmal in Marklkofen, #D-2-7441-0031 stands in Marklkofen (Landkreis Dingolfing-Landau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

This site marks the former location of a motte, an artificial earthen mound that once carried a wooden or stone tower, long since vanished. It lies in Marklkofen, in the hamlet of Weiher, just north of the village and roughly 900 metres south of the Vils river. Historical Bavarian land surveys still recorded a circular mound about eleven metres across, but the ground has since levelled out and no visible trace of the medieval fortification remains. It survives only as an archaeological record, listed as a Bodendenkmal, rather than as a castle one can actually visit.

What to know

  • No visible remains survive today, only the recorded location of the former motte.
  • The site lies north of the hamlet of Weiher, part of Marklkofen, about 900 metres south of the Vils river.
  • It is registered as an archaeological Bodendenkmal rather than a building open for touring.
  • There is no visitor information such as opening hours or fees, since the site is not developed for public access.
