Bodendenkmal in Schnelldorf, #D-5-6827-0034 stands in Schnelldorf (Landkreis Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Turmhügel Schlossbuck lies on the northeastern edge of Haundorf, a district of the municipality of Schnelldorf, in the Landkreis Ansbach in Bavaria. It marks the remains of a medieval motte later rebuilt as a manor house, now vanished. No standing structure survives on site : a modern farm now covers the former core of the complex. Traces of a double moat and rampart system, roughly 100 metres across, can still be made out to the west and north.

What to know

No building survives above ground, only traces of a moat system remain visible in the terrain, to the west and north of the former enclosure.
The core of the site is occupied by a private farm and is not open to visitors.
Seeing the site means reading the shallow double ditch still visible in the open landscape.
There are no opening hours or admission fees, as this is an outdoor archaeological site without any visitor facilities.
