Burgstall Kobel stands in Neusäß (Landkreis Augsburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Kobel is the faint remnant of a small medieval motte on a hill in Neusäß, Bavaria. What survives today is a mound and a short stretch of ditch, now surrounded by modern housing that has encroached heavily on the original earthwork. Visitors come here for a trace of an 11th or 12th century minor lordly residence, likely connected to the chamberlains of Wellenburg, rather than for any standing structure.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains, only a mound and a short section of ditch.
  • The site is surrounded by modern housing, which limits its visual appeal.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as it is an open outdoor site.
  • The visit mainly suits those interested in medieval archaeology rather than general sightseers.
  • It lies on the Kobelberg hill, close to the Loreto pilgrimage church.
