Turmhügel Schlosshügel stands in Stegaurach (Landkreis Bamberg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Turmhügel Schlosshügel is what remains of a medieval motte, lying east of the hamlet of Seehöflein in the municipality of Stegaurach. No historical record or archaeological excavation has identified who built or held it, and its dating remains only approximate. A rectangular stone building still stood on the mound until the mid nineteenth century, when it was torn down. What survives today is a reduced earthen mound set within farmland.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains, only a partially levelled earthen mound.
  • The site lies on farmland east of the hamlet of Seehöflein.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities on site.
  • Access is informal and from the outside, bearing in mind the surrounding land is cultivated or private.
  • This is not a castle in the usual sense but a heavily eroded medieval motte, of interest mainly to field archaeology enthusiasts.
