Bodendenkmal in Neufahrn, #D-2-7238-0052 stands in Neufahrn in Niederbayern (Landkreis Landshut), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Hofendorf no longer stands: of this fortified residence southwest of the village of Hofendorf, only an archaeological site survives beneath a meadow, at the confluence of a branch of the Kleine Laber. First recorded in the early twelfth century through the lords who bore its name, the complex consisted of a square island about 25 metres across, surrounded by a water-filled moat some seven metres wide, still traceable on Bavaria's early cadastral maps. Today the ground has been completely levelled and shows no visible remains.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains visible: the site is a Bodendenkmal, meaning a buried archaeological remnant.
  • The site lies in a meadow southwest of Hofendorf, part of the municipality of Neufahrn in Niederbayern, with no facilities for visitors.
  • There are no opening hours, fees, or organised access, as this is not a monument set up for tourism.
  • Its interest is mainly historical, tied to the lords of Hofendorf-Winklsaß and Schaumburg-Wolfstein first recorded in 1104.
