Turmhügel Kettenberg stands in Tittmoning (Landkreis Traunstein), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Turmhügel Kettenberg is a medieval motte, its original timber or stone structure long gone, of which only the earthen mound and a mostly filled-in ditch survive. It sits on a spur of the Rampelberg hill, at roughly 530 metres above sea level, near the hamlet of Kettenberg, part of the municipality of Tittmoning. No standing masonry remains, so visiting means reading the shape of the land rather than seeing a built ruin.

The site lies in open countryside on a spur of the Rampelberg, away from any tourist infrastructure.
There are no opening hours or admission fees, as this is a freely accessible outdoor site.
