Burgstall am Lohberg stands in Buttenheim (Landkreis Bamberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall am Lohberg marks the site of a former hilltop fortification that has entirely vanished, located on a ridge of the Lohberg near Gunzendorf, a hamlet belonging to the municipality of Buttenheim. Nothing is known about its history or its builders, and the layout can only be read from the shape of the ground itself. Remnants of a ditch and an earthen rampart still separate a smaller summit area from a larger section, likely an outer bailey, while a transverse ditch once closed off the most exposed approach. There are no standing ruins here, only earthworks to be traced on site.
