Bodendenkmal in Schmidgaden, #D-3-6538-0037 stands in Schmidgaden (Landkreis Schwandorf), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

This site marks the location of a former medieval motte, now vanished, known as the Turmhügel Schmidgaden. The early Bavarian cadastral map of around 1830 still showed an almost circular enclosure some 40 metres across, surrounded by an outer bank, standing apart from the village. The area has since been built over with a modern structure, and no remains can be seen today.
