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

The Burgstall Schlössle marks the site of a vanished medieval castle that once stood on a spur of the Falkenberg near the hamlet of Falkenstein. Nothing of the structure itself remains above ground; only a defensive ditch and an outer rampart on the eastern side can still be traced. This is a place for those drawn to archaeological traces rather than a visible monument.

What to know

  • No buildings remain; only a ditch and an earthen rampart still mark the former castle site.
  • The site lies in woodland on a spur of the Falkenberg, about 900 meters from St Nicholas church in Falkenstein.
  • Access is on foot via a forest track, with no visitor facilities on site.
  • The terrain is sloped, particularly to the north, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
