Burgstall at Galgenbühl

The Postal am Galgenbühl even Burgbühl called, refers to an Outbound high medieval hilltop castle from the type of a tower castle on a small oval outcrop, the "Galgenbühl", on the southern edge of the Kinzig valley in the western city forest of Haslach in Ortenaukreis in Baden-Wuerttemberg .

Presumably the castle was a small nobility or ministerial seat .

From the former castle the plateau is still preserved, which still suggests a neck ditch through which a forest path runs today, as well as the foundations of a 9 by 9 meter stone house excavated in 1973. Ditches and ramparts protected the castle towards the valley . Today there is a small pavilion as a refuge on the terrain spur.

The current name of the Galgenbühl site is derived from the gallows built by the Haslach office in 1738.
