Burg Boll

Sauldorf, Germany, Germany

---

Burg Boll near Sauldorf, Germany, is the remnant of a late medieval moated castle (Wasserburg) in the Boll district, first documented in the mid-13th century when owned by Albertus de Bolle from 1241-1254, who served as its advocate suggesting it was held in fief.

Located where the Krumbach and Espenbach rivers meet at 646 meters elevation in Baden-Württemberg's Sigmaringen district, the once-sprawling fortress—about 70 by 30 meters—was later incorporated into the Gasthaus Schwanen inn, where stone remnants are visibly reused in its walls.

By the early 15th century it belonged to the Hewen lordship under the Counts of Lupfen, passing to the Fürstenberg family in 1693 amid complex jurisdictional ties, though largely repurposed or lost to time in this high moraine landscape near the Swabian Alb.
