The Postal Schlössle is an Outbound hilltop castle on 590 m above sea level. NN in the forest area "Schlössle" over the road to Michelfeld, 1000 meters southwest of Aufhausen, a district of Bopfingen in the Ostalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg .
The history of this small castle is completely unknown to this day; remnants of the walls of the presumably high medieval castle complex were still visible in 1896. A discovery report from that time stated: The upper room with old wall remains is 35 m long, 20 m wide and separated from the plateau by a 10 to 12 m wide and 7.5 m deep trench torn into the rock. Today the castle stable still shows an angular moat .
