Neidinger Heidenschloss stands in Neidingen (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Heidenschloss is the ruined site of a medieval hilltop castle overlooking a side gorge of the Danube valley near Neidingen, in Baden-Württemberg. The structure dates back to the 11th century, though its original name and builders were never recorded, which is why it survives only under this later nickname. Visible remains include a double ditch system, sections of a massive poured-stone enclosure wall, and the foundations of a central building, likely a residential tower, set on the rocky spur. The site was abandoned sometime between 1300 and 1350, and its layout is known mainly through archaeological investigation.

What to know

  • This is an open-air ruin site with no visitor facilities or known ticketing.
  • Reaching the spur requires walking a narrow path, so a reasonable level of fitness is needed.
  • The site overlooks a gorge with steep limestone cliffs, sturdy footwear for uneven ground is advisable.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are listed, access depends on the natural terrain.
  • Little stands above ground level, the interest lies mainly in the archaeological remains and the setting.
