Burgstall Sanzenbach stands in Sanzenbach (Landkreis Schwäbisch Hall), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burgstall Sanzenbach marks the site of a former moated castle, now vanished, in the hamlet of Sanzenbach, part of the municipality of Rosengarten. First documented in 1375, the fortified residence burned down in 1584, leaving no visible remains apart from a few old watercolour depictions. A chapel stood on the grounds, founded in 1382 by Kraft von Heinberg and his wife Anna von Sanzenbach and consecrated the following year; it was destroyed in the same fire. The site is tied to the history of the free imperial city of Hall and its patrician families, notably the Erer, who owned the estate from 1558 onward.

What to know

  • No visible structure of the former castle remains; the site is today just a place name.
  • The only known depictions of the building are old watercolours, not displayed on site.
  • The hamlet of Sanzenbach lies within the municipality of Rosengarten, in the Schwäbisch Hall district.
  • There is no visitor information, opening hours or access details, as the site itself no longer exists above ground.
