Burg Bommersheim, Medieval castle ruins in Bommersheim, Germany.

The remains of Burg Bommersheim include a ring wall from the original fortification and foundations uncovered through archaeological excavations since 1988.

The castle evolved from an 11th-century wooden residential tower to a 13th-century lowland fortress with stone walls enclosing 1000 square meters.

Archaeological excavations at the castle site yielded medieval ceramics, tools, and everyday objects preserved in the moat's wet soil conditions.

The castle site stands behind the Church of St. Aureus and Justina, between Lange Strasse and Burgstrasse on the eastern edge of Bommersheim.

The castle's destruction in 1382 during a conflict with Frankfurt led to unsuccessful compensation claims by the heirs until the 15th century.
