Rödelsburg stands in Ehrenkirchen (Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Rödelsburg, also known as Regelsburg or Rottelsburg, is a vanished hilltop castle that once stood on a wooded hill 773 metres high, in the municipality of Ehrenkirchen. Its origins remain uncertain: some link it to early mining activity in the area, while others describe it as an early medieval structure built of wood. What remains today is a kind of circular earthen rampart with a ditch, a stone staircase, and traces of dry stone walling. The site will mainly interest visitors curious about faint, poorly documented remains hidden in the forest.

What to know

  • Only an earthen rampart, a ditch, a staircase and dry stone wall remnants survive, with no standing building.
  • The site lies in forest on a hill at 773 metres, so reaching it requires a walk uphill.
  • No opening hours, fees or facilities are indicated, as this is an unsupervised, freely accessible site.
  • The exact origin and dating of the castle remain uncertain according to available sources.
