Burgstall Agnesburg stands in Reichenbach (Ostalbkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Burgstall Agnesburg refers to the vanished remains of a medieval hilltop stronghold, set at 620 metres on the northwestern ridge of the Bohlerberg, west of Reichenbach, a district of the municipality of Westhausen. It is believed to have belonged to the Westhausen ministerial family, documented between 1147 and 1394 in service to Ellwangen Abbey. All that survives of the former 35 by 25 metre enclosure are two hollows, possibly a cellar or cistern, remnants of an earthen rampart, and a ditch still visible on three sides. The site takes its name from Agnes of Westhausen, the legendary last member of the family, commemorated with a plaque placed in the Westhausen church in 1780.
