Can you still see walls at the Burgstall Miedering?

No, no walls survive above ground; only the shape of the mound and terrace remain visible.

Is the Burgstall Miedering freely accessible?

The site lies on farmland with no visitor facilities, and the available facts do not specify particular access conditions.

What is the origin of this former stronghold?

Burgstall Miedering stands in Affing (Landkreis Aichach-Friedberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Miedering marks the site of a vanished medieval motte overlooking the hamlet of Miedering, part of the municipality of Affing. Only the main mound, still rising several metres above the surrounding land, and an adjoining terrace that once formed the outer bailey have survived. No standing walls remain above ground, making this an archaeological earthwork rather than a castle in the usual sense, listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
