Conservation status: departed
Standing position : Nobles
Place: Asselfingen

The Bürgele Asselfingen is an abandoned castle, probably 500 meters south of Asselfingen in the Alb-Danube district in Baden-Württemberg . Along with Asselfingen Castle and another castle at the “Zum Hirsch” inn, it was one of three local castles in the village.

Nothing has survived from the castle of the Lords of Asselfingen, a branch of the Lords of Rammingen, built before 1400. The castle, which can no longer be precisely located, was probably located south of the village in a small valley with the current field names "Burggraben", "Bürgele" and "Unteres Bürgele".
