Burgstall Wildenholzen stands in Bruck (Landkreis Ebersberg), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burgstall Wildenholzen marks the site of a former small medieval fortress, now vanished, near Bruck in Bavaria. Nothing remains of the castle itself, torn down in 1818, except its chapel of St Andrew and buried traces of a defensive ditch. The place is therefore less a visible monument than a spot of hidden history, suited to those interested in archaeology and walks above the Wildenholzen gorge.

What to know

  • No visible building of the castle survives today, only the chapel of St Andrew remains.
  • The site is registered as a Bodendenkmal, a protected underground archaeological monument in Bavaria.
  • The location sits on a hill about one kilometre southwest of Bruck, above the Wildenholzen gorge.
  • Visiting means a walk through open countryside rather than touring a standing structure, with no fixed opening hours.
  • A small memorial fountain erected in 1900 commemorates the vanished castle.
