Burgreste Altfridingen stands in Fridingen an der Donau (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgreste Altfridingen are the ruins of a medieval fortified settlement set on a ridge above Fridingen an der Donau. Founded probably in the 13th century as a rival foundation to the neighbouring town of Mühlheim, the site lost its importance after 1330 when the present-day town of Fridingen was established. What remains today are earthworks and scattered stone wall fragments marking the former location of about twelve buildings.

What to know

  • The site lies on a ridge roughly 1650 metres northwest of the church in Fridingen.
  • These are not castle ruins but the remains of a vanished medieval town.
  • No standing structures remain: visitors find overgrown rubble mounds and a few sections of wall.
  • Reaching the site involves walking over natural terrain, with no specific facilities mentioned.
  • The site should not be confused with the nearby Burgstall Krinnerfels, which has no historical connection to it.
