Burg Denzlingen stands in Denzlingen (Landkreis Emmendingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Denzlingen, also known as Burg Maurach, refers to a presumed stronghold on the eastern spur of the Mauracher Berg near Denzlingen, where the Saint Severin chapel now stands. Historians once proposed a 12th century construction, but whether such a castle ever existed is now questioned, since the ditches once read as fortification traces are considered inconclusive. The European Castle Institute suggests instead an Ottonian era defensive site stretching nearly 300 metres from east to west. No visible structure on site matches the idea of a castle today.

What to know

No ruins or visible walls remain, the site today is simply the hill where the Saint Severin chapel stands.
Whether a medieval castle ever actually stood here is a matter of scholarly debate.
There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, since this is a hypothetical archaeological site rather than an open monument.
The location lies on the Mauracher Berg, at roughly 250 metres elevation, near Denzlingen.
