Burg Binsförth stands in Binsförth (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Binsförth survives only as fragments of medieval walls embedded in a farmstead at the eastern edge of the village of Binsförth, in Hesse. The small fortified building once guarded a ford across the Fulda river, close to the parish church. Imperial troops destroyed it in 1637 during the Thirty Years' War, and it was never rebuilt. The property, now a working farm, still has a half timbered house dating from the 16th century and a coat of arms stone from 1692.

What to know

The site lies on a privately run farm, the Rittergut Binsförth, today managed as an organic holding.
Only sections of medieval walls remain, incorporated into the existing farm buildings and best viewed from outside.
The timber framed house on site dates from the late 16th century and bears a coat of arms stone from 1692.
No opening hours, admission fees, or organised visits are documented, since the place functions as a working farm.
