Burg Donsieders stands in Donsieders (Landkreis Südwestpfalz), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Donsieders refers to the presumed remains of a vanished hilltop castle on the territory of the municipality of Donsieders, in the Südwestpfalz district of Rhineland-Palatinate. Its assumed location lies in a wooded area known by the field name 'An der Burg', at the western end of the Orleberg hill, southwest of the village. Nothing is known of its history, no construction date, founder, or period of use has been recorded. On site, only scant wall remnants, rock slabs, and traces thought to belong to a well shaft have been found.

What to know

  • This is not a visitable castle but a discreet archaeological site with no standing structure.
  • No information exists on opening times, developed access, or admission fees.
  • The location lies in woodland, off the usual marked trails, and requires walking through natural terrain.
  • Nothing is known about a founding or abandonment date, nor is any founder recorded.
  • The remains are limited to a few stones and possible well traces, easy to miss for an untrained visitor.
