Burgstall Fuchsberg stands in Kissing (Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The Burgstall Fuchsberg is a medieval castle site perched on the wooded ridge above Altkissing, overlooking the Lech valley. What remains today is only earthwork: a steep scarp and a low mound thought to be the remnant of a motte, though the usual surrounding ditch is missing. No archaeological excavation has ever taken place here, the site being known mainly through aerial photography. This is a destination for those drawn to faint medieval traces in the landscape rather than to standing architecture.
