Burgruine Geyersburg stands in Untermünkheim (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Geyersburg ruin stands on a narrow spur overlooking the Kocher valley in the municipality of Untermünkheim. Built at the end of the 14th century by the Feldner family, patricians of the town of Hall, it passed through several hands before falling into decline. What survives today are the remains of an octagonal residential tower built of shell limestone, together with traces of ditches and a shield wall.

  • The ruin is freely accessible, with no opening hours or admission fee.
  • The site sits on a steep, narrow ridge, with fairly pronounced slopes nearby.
  • The hamlet of Sülz, less than a kilometre to the southwest, offers the easiest approach.
  • Only part of the octagonal residential tower and a few defensive remains survive, with no complete structures left.
  • A visit is limited to viewing the ruins from outside, as there is no touristic infrastructure on site.
