Bodendenkmal in Osterhofen, #D-2-7344-0198 stands in Osterhofen (Landkreis Deggendorf), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Schloss Oberndorf survives only as an archaeological site north of the hamlet of Oberndorf, part of the town of Osterhofen. The medieval stronghold, rebuilt as a manor house in the seventeenth century, has completely vanished, torn down in 1844, and what remains today is the outline of a moated platform visible in the landscape. Visitors come here not to see a standing building but to trace the ground plan of a noble residence that stood from the Middle Ages until the early nineteenth century.

What to know

No standing structure remains, the site consists only of the visible traces of a moat and a raised platform in the landscape.
The remains lie at the northern edge of the hamlet of Oberndorf, behind a former inn.
The manor house was destroyed by Swedish troops in 1648, later rebuilt, then demolished in 1844, with its chapel razed in 1856.
There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities, as the site is not set up for tourist visits.
