The Doppelturmhügel Oberweißenbrunn is a vanished medieval fortified site, a double motte that once stood on the twin summits of the Hagküppel hill. Very little is known about its history: only earthworks and ditches remain, partly disturbed by recent path construction. It is best approached as an archaeological trace in woodland, with no standing structure to see.

  • The site occupies both summits of the Hagküppel hill, about 500 metres southwest of the church in Oberweißenbrunn.
  • Access is through woodland, with no visitor facilities on site.
  • Other remains of vanished castles lie nearby, such as Burgruine Osterburg and Burgstall Altenbrenda.
  • The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany, under monument number D-6-5525-0004.
