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

The Burg Schlossberg, also known as Schlösslberg, is a former fortified site from the High Middle Ages, of which only earthworks remain today on a spur overlooking the Würm valley. No walls or buildings have survived: what can be seen on the ground are ditches, ramparts and the plateau where the small stronghold once stood. On the opposite bank of the Würm, traces of an earthen enclosure also survive, sometimes interpreted as an outwork or bridgehead linked to the castle. The site will mainly appeal to visitors interested in medieval archaeology rather than those looking for standing structures.

What to know

  • No standing structures remain: only ditches, ramparts and a plateau can be seen on site.
  • The site is a ground monument, listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany, with no known visitor facilities.
  • No opening hours, fees or visit duration are indicated for this site, which can be explored freely outdoors.
  • The Würm valley setting means natural terrain, with slopes and ditches to walk across.
  • On the opposite bank of the Würm there is a separate earthwork, distinct from the castle itself, worth locating separately.
