Burgstall Puschendorf

The Postal Puschendorf is an Outbound medieval hilltop castle from the type of a motte (moth) at the site of later built the local Church of St. Wolfgang on the southern outskirts of Puschendorf (Church Square 6) in the district of Fürth in Bavaria .

The lining walls of the moat are still preserved from the former moth complex mentioned in 1469, whose owners are named burgraves of Haller and which presumably controlled the old trade route Nuremberg – Frankfurt, which led from Burgfarrnbach – Veitsbronn – Emskirchen via Puschendorf .
