Ringwallanlage Oberburghof stands in Hückeswagen (Oberbergischer Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Ringwallanlage Oberburghof is a circular earthwork built on a rocky spur above the Mul valley, near Hückeswagen. Three earthen ramparts with ditches in front of them block off the northeastern slope, the only side offering easy access to the site. Excavations carried out in 1970 uncovered pottery fragments showing the site was used in the 11th and 12th centuries, though they do not pin down when the earthwork itself was built. There is no building or stone ruin to see here, just a wooded hilltop still shaped by a medieval fortification.

What to know

  • The site sits in woodland on a natural rocky spur, not inside any building or visitable ruin.
  • There are no set hours or admission fees, as it is an open outdoor site.
  • Reaching it means walking up a wooded spur, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
  • No dedicated parking or accessibility arrangements are indicated for the site.
  • Its interest is mainly archaeological and scenic rather than architectural.
