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

The Turmhügel Zoggendorf is the remnant of a motte, an artificial mound that once carried a fortified tower, west of the village of Zoggendorf, part of the municipality of Heiligenstadt in Oberfranken. First recorded in 1427 and linked to the lords von Greiffenstein, the structure itself no longer exists. Only the rectangular earthen mound on which it stood has survived to this day.

  • The site lies about one hundred metres west of the centre of Zoggendorf village.
  • No information on opening hours or fees is available, as the mound can be viewed freely from outside.
