Burg Mahlspüren (bei den Burgäckern) stands in Mahlspüren im Tal (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Mahlspüren, a vanished hilltop castle also known as Burgstall bei den Burgäckern, once stood on a rise of the Heuberg at 540 metres above sea level, west of Mahlspüren im Tal. Nothing of the structure remains above ground today: only a ditch, an earthen rampart and the field names Burgäcker and Hinterburg still mark the site. Built in the 11th or 12th century, it is thought to have been the seat of a local noble family until it was abandoned in the second half of the 13th century.

What to know

  • This is not a castle open for tours but an outdoor archaeological site with no standing structure.
  • Only a ditch, an earthen rampart and ground traces remain on site.
  • The location sits on a wooded hill, so reaching it requires some walking.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as the site is a freely accessible ruin.
