The Burgstall Weichering is a lost moated castle about 100 meters southwest of the Church of St. Vitus in Weichering in the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen in Bavaria .

The former moated castle stood on a 30 × 40 meter plateau that was around four meters above the bottom of the trench. It was surrounded by a wall to provide additional protection. The castle complex was probably reinforced with four corner towers, as shown in a picture in the nearby chapel. On the west and south sides of the main castle there was a large outer bailey, which was also surrounded by a moat and rampart. Today the two-part castle stable is partly built over by a farm and the former forester's house.
