Burg Dittwar stands in Tauberbischofsheim (Main-Tauber-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Dittwar, also known as Burg Helle, was a hilltop castle near Dittwar, a district of Tauberbischofsheim in Baden-Württemberg, that no longer survives today. No structure remains visible, and its exact location is still debated: some place it at Dittwar itself, others on a hill between Dittwar and Hof Steinbach, a position that would have allowed oversight of the Muckbach valley. This is a site for those drawn to medieval local history rather than to an actual monument to explore.

What to know

No visible remains of the castle survive, so the site is not suited to a conventional visit.
The exact location is uncertain, with two possible sites suggested, Dittwar itself or a nearby hill toward Hof Steinbach.
There is no information on paths, parking or opening times, since no standing structure exists.
The site is of interest mainly for local history enthusiasts or hikers rather than casual visitors.
