The Postal Lauter is a Outbound hilltop castle on 217  m above sea level. NHN east of the Lauter above the Bing mill in the "Burgwald" corridor area near Lauter, a district of Laubach in the district of Gießen ( Hesse ).

The castle was destroyed in 1618 and after the Thirty Years War the stones were used to rebuild the Bingmühle. Today's Burgstall shows no building remains apart from the partially filled neck ditch that was dug into the rock. Whether a cellar carved into the side of the rock and belonging to the Binghof belonged to the former castle cannot be proven with certainty.
