Bodendenkmal in Seubersdorf, #D-3-6835-0065 stands in Seubersdorf in der Oberpfalz (Landkreis Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The site of the former Schloss Ittelhofen lies in Seubersdorf in der Oberpfalz, marking the spot where a small manor house once stood before it vanished. Of the three-storey building, once owned among others by the astronomer Peter Apian, only a vaulted cellar remains underground, the rest having been torn down in the late eighteenth century. Visitors therefore find an archaeological trace rather than standing architecture, linked to the nearby St Jacobus church, successor to the former castle chapel.

What to know

The site is essentially archaeological rather than a monument open for a conventional visit.
The nearby present-day St Jacobus church replaces the eighteenth-century castle chapel.
There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities for this site.
No historical depictions exist showing what the vanished castle actually looked like.
