Burgstall Rehau stands in Rehau (Landkreis Hof), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Burgstall Rehau marks the site of a former moated castle that no longer survives, located in the town of Rehau in Bavaria. Built by the von Kotzau family in the mid 13th century on a rectangular mound surrounded by water within the Krötensee, it had already fallen into ruin by the late 14th century. Only slight foundation remains were found during excavations in 1973, and an information panel now points out the historic ground.

- No visible structure of the castle remains, only open ground and an information panel.
- The site lies in the area of Krötenseestraße, Fabrikstraße and Wallstraße in Rehau.
- A visit is simply a free walk, with no opening hours or admission fee.
- The street names Burgstraße and Burgplatz are misleading and do not mark the actual castle site.
