Bodendenkmal in Mengkofen, #D-2-7240-0068 stands in Mengkofen (Landkreis Dingolfing-Landau), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The site at Mengkofen marks the remains of a medieval motte, an artificial mound that once carried a timber tower, now flattened by agricultural use and time. It lies in the hamlet of Bruckhof, on the northern bank of the Aitrach river, roughly 800 metres northwest of Puchhausen. Nothing stands above ground any longer: it is protected as an archaeological monument, traceable mainly through a slight rise in the terrain. Visitors come here to grasp a vanished seat of medieval lordship rather than to see any built structure.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains, only a subtle rise in the ground reveals the former motte.
  • The site sits in open countryside near the hamlet of Bruckhof, with no visitor facilities.
  • The land appears to be private or farmed, so it is best viewed from nearby rather than entered without permission.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or organised access, as there is no building to visit in the usual sense.
  • Its position near the Aitrach river and Puchhausen makes it easy to locate on a map.
