The rampart Herrenwörth is an Outbound prehistoric and Wallburg about 1375 meters south-southwest of Herrenchiemsee on the island Herrenchiemsee (Herrenwörth) in the district of Rosenheim in Bavaria .
The ring wall system, built in the 9th to 10th centuries, had multiple section walls, a wall-ditch fortification with a pincer gate on the land side. The approximately nine hectare indoor facility had an east-west orientation of about 650 meters with the greatest width of 200 meters.
Wall and moat remains of the former fortifications are still preserved.
