This site marks the remains of a vanished medieval Burg, a fortified mound (Turmhügelburg) located roughly 1500 metres northeast of the Saint Martin parish church in Scheuring. Of the original circular structure, about 20 metres across, only an earthen mound survives today, largely hidden within the edge of a woodland. The place is listed as a Bodendenkmal under the number D-1-7831-0052. It is not a castle open for visits in the usual sense, but an archaeological trace in the landscape.
