Turmhügel Eyb stands in Ansbach (Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Turmhügel Eyb is a motte, an artificial mound that once carried a fortified tower belonging to the lords of Eyb, southeast of the Eyb district, in a bend formed by the Eichenbach and Fränkische Rezat streams. No historical document directly mentions this stronghold, and it appears to have been abandoned quite early. Today only a weathered, misshapen mound remains, with no visible structure, making this a site for archaeology enthusiasts rather than a monumental visit.

What to know

  • Only an earthen mound remains, with no visible wall or tower.
  • The site lies outdoors, in a natural setting between two watercourses.
  • There are no opening hours or fees, as this is an open, freely accessible piece of land.
  • Visiting simply means observing the shape of the terrain, without any on-site interpretation.
  • Access is on foot, and the ground may be uneven or damp depending on the season.
