Burgstall Buchhorn

Michelbach an der Bilz, Germany, Germany

Burgstall Buchhorn is the site of a former medieval hilltop castle near Michelbach an der Bilz in Baden-Württemberg.

Located on a wooded ridge in the Limpurg Hills, the castle once occupied a strategic position overlooking the surrounding landscape, but only earthworks and traces of its fortifications remain today. Although little is known about its early history, the castle belonged to the Counts of Oettingen and was sold in 1357 to the Schenken von Limpurg.

It was later held by the Berler von Tullau family. According to historical accounts, the castle became a refuge for robber knights and was eventually abandoned after being destroyed, reportedly by its own occupants after learning of plans to attack it. Today, Burgstall Buchhorn is an archaeological and historical site rather than a standing ruin.
