Burg Korb stands in Möckmühl (Landkreis Heilbronn), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Korb refers to the remains of a former medieval castle that no longer stands, located in Korb, a district of Möckmühl in the Heilbronn district of Baden-Württemberg. A noble family bearing this name is first recorded in 1103, though the exact location of their residence remained uncertain for a long time. It was only during construction work near the village church that thick foundation walls came to light, likely the remnants of a small motte. Archaeologists remain cautious, since it is not fully established that these walls belonged to the noble seat mentioned around 1100, as another possible site has been suggested nearby.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains visible above ground: the uncovered foundations were reburied after examination.
  • The site lies near the village church of Korb, a district of Möckmühl.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as this is an archaeological site rather than an open monument.
  • The exact original location of the castle is still debated among researchers.
