Burg Auchtbühl stands in Beuron (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Auchtbühl is a former spur castle, now vanished, perched on a promontory above a bend of the Danube, near Neidingen, a district of the municipality of Beuron. Built no later than the 13th century, it belonged in 1497, together with the facing Schauenburg, to the lords of Hausen. Of the fortified site, which once covered 4600 square metres, only remnants of earthworks and two ditches remain visible today.

What to know

  • This is not a castle to visit in the usual sense: only earthwork remains and two ditches survive on site.
  • The site sits on a promontory above a bend of the Danube, near Neidingen, off the main routes.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as the place is an open-air ruin in a natural setting.
  • Reaching it involves walking over natural terrain, with no particular infrastructure reported.
  • The visit suits those interested in medieval history and hiking rather than casual sightseers.
