Burg Zwiefaltendorf stands in Riedlingen (Landkreis Biberach), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 10th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Zwiefaltendorf was a moated castle (Wasserburg) in the Zwiefaltendorf district of Riedlingen, now vanished. Likely built in the 11th century by the lords of Zwiefaltendorf, it was burned down in the early 16th century and demolished after being plundered by Swedish troops in the 17th century. Only a few wall fragments remain, as the nearby Schloss Zwiefaltendorf was built a short distance to the north to replace it.

What to know

  • This is not a visitable castle but an archaeological site reduced to a few wall remains.
  • No opening hours, admission fees or visitor facilities exist for this site.
  • The nearby Schloss Zwiefaltendorf, built after the Burg's destruction, should not be confused with it.
