Burg Bodman (Karolingische Königspfalz) stands in Bodman-Ludwigshafen (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
The Burg Bodman, also known as the Karolingische Königspfalz, is a former fortified site, now vanished, near Bodman-Ludwigshafen. In the early Middle Ages it served as a royal palace of the Carolingian dynasty, gaining considerable importance under Louis the Pious as a central place for the Lake Constance region. No standing structure remains today, so what draws attention here is the historical layering of the ground rather than a visible building. Several phases of occupation can be traced, from a late Bronze Age hilltop settlement to the later Burg of the lords of Bodman, built on a neighbouring hill.
