Burg Vogtsberg stands in Gaukönigshofen (Landkreis Würzburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Vogtsberg stands on a hilltop at 270 metres above the Thierbach stream, between Acholshausen and Gaukönigshofen. Originally built as a refuge fortification, it was expanded over the centuries into a medieval castle before being destroyed in 1525 during the Palatine Peasants' War. All that remains visible on the site today is a defensive ditch, the last trace of a structure that no longer exists above ground.
