Cultural heritage D-1-7738-0029 in Lengdorf

The earth mound fortress features a central elevated platform with a wooden tower foundation and a surrounding defensive bailey enclosure system.

The site represents a medieval motte-and-bailey fortification constructed during the expansion of Norman military architecture across Europe in the 11th century.

This defensive structure reflects the feudal organization of medieval Bavaria, where local lords established fortified positions to control their territories.

The remains of the castle are accessible through marked paths, with the elevated motte providing a view of the surrounding Bavarian countryside.

The archaeological site preserves the original earth engineering techniques used to create the artificial mound and defensive ditches of the medieval period.
