Hirschenleck ruins

In the community forest district of Hirschenleck on the district of Herten , a district of Rheinfelden in the district of Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg , an abandoned spur castle was discovered in the 1960s .

The Burgstall is located on a spur in the community forest district, about halfway between the "Markhof" in the southwest and the village of Herten in the east. The Burgstall has not yet been examined in detail. A neck ditch , mortar and ceramic remains, as well as other finds, however, indicate an aristocratic castle that probably existed in the 11th to 12th centuries. Written sources about the castle are not known; It is also unclear whether there was a connection to the castle ruins on the nearby "Schlossberg" ( Hertenberg ruins ).
