Burg Berstadt stands in Berstadt (Wetteraukreis), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Berstadt was a moated tower castle, now vanished, located in Berstadt, in the Wetteraukreis district of Hesse. Its beginnings may date to the Carolingian or Ottonian period, and the site hosted royal visits in the 11th century under Henry III and Henry IV. What survives today are street names recalling the castle, a public garden and a few remnants built into a private property. Visitors will not find standing walls here, but rather the faint imprint of a medieval seat of power that has since disappeared.

What to know

  • No structure of the original castle remains standing; the site today is a garden and a playground.
  • A few surviving elements, such as a courtyard gateway dated 1793, are located on private property at Untergasse 21.
  • The street name Burggasse and the so-called Burggärten gardens mark the former location of the castle.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or organized access, as this is not a monument set up for visits.
