Burg Guxhagen stands in Guxhagen (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Guxhagen, also called Herrenhaus Guxhagen, was a fortified multi-storey residential tower probably built in the thirteenth or fourteenth century at the centre of Guxhagen in northern Hesse. It stood on a spur above the eastern bank of the Fulda, close to where the Schwarzenbach joins the river. The stronghold was destroyed in 1626 during the Thirty Years' War by troops of the Catholic League under Tilly. A private house now occupies the site, incorporating remnants of the former cellar and original masonry, including two loopholes still visible on the valley side.

What to know

  • The site is now occupied by a private residence and is not open to visitors.
  • Only fragments of masonry, including two loopholes on the valley side, can be seen from outside.
  • No standing defensive structure remains, so this is not a dramatic ruin.
  • The location lies by the Fulda river, near its confluence with the Schwarzenbach, in central Guxhagen.
