Burgstall Schlössle stands in Bopfingen (Ostalbkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Schlössle is a vanished hilltop castle site, set at 590 metres above sea level in the forest bearing the same name, above the road to Michelfeld, about one kilometre southwest of Aufhausen, a district of Bopfingen. Of this small fortification, likely dating from the High Middle Ages, only an angular ditch cut into the rock remains visible today. Nothing is known of its history, and wall remnants still recorded in 1896 have since disappeared.

  • Reaching it involves a walk through the forest from the road between Bopfingen and Michelfeld.
  • No opening hours or fees apply, as the site lies freely accessible in the countryside.
