The Postal Klingenstein is an Outbound late medieval castle on a mountain spur between the valley of the Tauber to the east and another river valley to the west. It is located about 240 meters southwest of the Catholic branch church St. Georg von Klingen or about 2750 meters south of the Lower Franconian community of Bieberehren .

No historical or archaeological information is known about this castle. It is said to have expired in 1503. The castle is roughly dated to the late medieval period. Only two neck ditches and a slope ditch as well as the remains of a wall have survived from the complex . The site is protected as a ground monument number D-6-6526-0001: Late medieval castle stables "Klingenstein" .

description

The castle stables of the Spornburg are around 300  m above sea level. NN altitude on a mountain spur facing northeast and about 45  meters above the valley floor of the Tauber, which protrudes from a plateau adjacent to the southwest.

The castle site is separated from the further rising mountain side by a four meter wide and today 0.3 meter deep neck ditch . This trench crosses the entire spur. A second ditch secured the former castle 20 meters northeast of this outer ditch. This section trench is five meters wide and just as deep. The mountain spur narrows to four meters between the two trenches, where a modern water tank has been installed. The castle area follows the inner moat to the northeast. The square system was 20 by 15 meters. A ruined wall remains of it, it is two meters wide and another one meter high. This core facility was naturally very well protected on the north-east and south-east side by a steep slope towards the Tauber. The northwest side of the castle, which slopes down to a small side valley of the Tauber, was secured in addition to the steep slope by a four-meter-wide and one-meter-deep slope ditch and a four-meter-wide outer wall.
