Known as the Turmhügel Sachsenhausen, this site is the remnant of a vanished medieval motte, located in a wooded area near the hamlet of Sachsenhausen, part of the market town of Pfeffenhausen. What survives is an artificial mound roughly 3.5 metres high, topped by a platform and encircled by a shallow ditch. It is not a castle open for visits in the usual sense, but an archaeological earthwork hidden among the trees.

  • The site lies within woodland, away from roads, with no known visitor infrastructure.
  • No opening hours, fees, or organised access are documented for this site.
