Burg Riedbach stands in Schrozberg (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Riedbach was a motte-style castle built in the 13th century on the outskirts of the village of Riedbach, within the municipality of Schrozberg. Destroyed in the 15th century, it survives today only as earthen ramparts and ditch remains, with no standing structure left. A visit here suits those drawn to medieval fortification archaeology rather than an intact building.

What to know

  • No standing building remains, only ditch and rampart traces visible in the terrain.
  • The site sits in the open, on the edge of the hamlet of Riedbach, with no visitor facilities.
  • There are no opening hours or fees since this is an open, unmanaged piece of land.
  • Sturdy footwear is advisable as the ground can be uneven or damp, the site being outdoors and undeveloped.
