Burg Granheim stands in Ehingen (Alb-Donau-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Granheim was a hilltop stronghold overlooking the village of Granheim, now part of the town of Ehingen in Baden-Württemberg. Built probably in the 11th or 12th century by a local noble family, it has left no visible structures above ground today. The site survives only as a Burgstall, a former fortified place marked by a ditch and a slight terrace on the Schlossberg hill. No archaeological excavation has yet clarified what buildings once stood there.

What to know

  • No walls or visible remains survive, only earthworks and a ditch marking the former fortified site.
  • The site lies on a hill above the village of Granheim, reachable on foot from the base of the Schlossberg.
  • A visit means walking through a natural setting rather than viewing any standing structure.
  • There are no opening hours, fees, or visitor facilities, as this is an open-air archaeological site.
  • Sturdy footwear is advisable since the ground is sloped and unimproved.
