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

The Burgstall Liebenau marks the site of a former medieval motte near the village of Stolzenroth, part of the municipality of Pommersfelden. Once belonging to the lords of Liebenau, the stronghold passed partly to the burgraves of Nuremberg from 1385 onward, but it had already been destroyed by 1535, and its last remains were cleared away in 1790. What survives today is a low mound, roughly forty metres across, encircled by the faint outline of a former ditch.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains, only an earthen mound in open farmland.
  • The site lies in the countryside, roughly 400 metres southeast of the centre of Stolzenroth.
  • No visitor facilities, information panels or infrastructure have been reported on site.
  • A visit amounts to viewing a landscape feature rather than any built remains.
  • Access details are undocumented, so checking locally beforehand is advisable.
