Burgstall Burstel stands in Stockach (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burgstall Burstel refers to the remains of a former hilltop fortification on the Heiligenbühl, about 800 metres north-northeast of Seelfingen, a district of Stockach. What survives today is an earthwork site: a levelled mound bordered by two ditches, with no standing structures left. Visitors can still trace the shape of the ditches that once isolated the artificial hill, as well as a pit containing fired clay that may point to an old fire.

What to know

  • No standing building remains, only an earthwork site with ditches and a levelled platform.
  • Reaching it involves a walk through the forest up to the Heiligenbühl, with no facilities mentioned.
  • It suits a short visit, better appreciated by those interested in field archaeology than in a grand castle.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor infrastructure, as the site is not developed for tourism.
