Motte féodale du Kochersberg stands in Neugartheim-Ittlenheim (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Neugartheim-Ittlenheim, in the Bas-Rhin department, an earthen mound marks the site of a former 13th-century stronghold that has since vanished. Known as the Kochersberg motte, it is a motte-and-bailey type structure, a medieval fortification built on a raised mound. No standing structure remains, but the shaped ground still traces the outline of the hill that once carried a tower.

What to know

  • The site is a 13th-century motte, with no standing structures left to see.
  • The mound has been a listed historic monument since 1989.
  • There are no opening hours or fees, as it is an open outdoor site.
  • Sturdy footwear is advisable since the ground around the mound can be uneven.
