Munichehausen, Archaeological site in Rehburg-Loccum, Germany

Located on agricultural lands south of Rehburg at the slope of Haarberg mountain, reaching 87 meters above sea level.

The site housed the ancestral residence of the Münchhausen noble family and contained a church, first documented in historical records from 1386.

Archaeological discoveries at Munichehausen include a 1000-kilogram baptismal font from the 12th century, now preserved in St. Martini Church in Rehburg.

The location of the medieval settlement was identified in 2016 through the distribution of 600 ceramic fragments dating from the 13th to 15th centuries.

A NATO anti-aircraft missile installation was built on the hilltop in the 1960s, causing substantial ground alterations to the archaeological site.
