Burgstall Bernbeuren stands in Bernbeuren (Landkreis Weilheim-Schongau), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Bernbeuren marks the location of a former medieval hilltop fortification, built on a spur at 825 metres above sea level, west of the village of Bernbeuren. Nothing of the original structure remains above ground, and the site today exists purely as an archaeological trace. A visit here suits those curious about historical landscape features rather than anyone hoping to see standing walls or towers.

What to know

  • No visible structure remains of the fortification, only the shape of the terrain hints at its former presence.
  • The site lies about 500 metres southwest of Bernbeuren's church, on a spur at 825 metres above sea level.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as the location is an open-air site without visitor facilities.
  • Sturdy footwear is advisable since access involves natural, sloping ground.
