Burgruine Niedersulzbürg stands in Mühlhausen (Landkreis Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Niedersulzbürg sits atop a rocky plateau of the Sulzbürg hill, above the village bearing its name, within the municipality of Mühlhausen. Of this medieval stronghold, raised around 1300, only scant wall fragments and the ditches that once separated the main castle from its outer bailey survive. The grounds belong to a wider archaeological zone that reveals layers of human settlement stretching from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages, close to the neighbouring Burgruine Obersulzbürg.

What to know

  • The site lies on an elevated plateau, so reaching it requires walking uphill.
  • The ruin stands close to the Burgruine Obersulzbürg, making it easy to visit both together.
