Burgruine Pfannenstiel stands in Beuron (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Pfannenstiel stands on a rocky spur above the Bära valley near Beuron in Baden-Württemberg. Only scattered, largely overgrown remains of this medieval stronghold survive today, dominated by the stump of a keep roughly 5.5 metres high. Built in the second half of the 13th century, the complex included an outer fortification, a defensive ditch and a core castle area whose thick walls can still be traced. The ruin stands freely accessible in woodland, appealing mainly to hikers and ruin enthusiasts rather than casual visitors.

What to know

  • The site is reached on foot via a forest path from the Hart plateau or from the Bära valley, with free access at any time.
  • This is an unmaintained ruin best approached as a hiking stop rather than a formal castle visit.
  • The terrain is steep and uneven, with a ditch and collapsed walls, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as the site is outdoors and unsupervised.
  • The ruined keep and the remains of the outer bailey are the most visible features on site.
