Pfingstbühl Castle

The castle Pfingstbühl is a suspected Outbound hilltop castle on the "Pentecostal Buhler Castle Hill" in Güttinger lakes southwest of Güttingen , a modern suburb of Radolfzell in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

Presumably the castle was built during the 13th century by the Lords of Güttingen, mentioned in the 12th to 14th centuries, who probably belonged to the family of the same name in Thurgau.

Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex on a plateau measuring around 70 by 27 meters.
