The Tower Hill At Kistler farmers is an Outbound high medieval motte (moth) about 275 meters north-northeast of the town center of Großpienzenau, in the municipality of Weyarn in the district of Miesbach in Bavaria .

Presumably the castle, which was preserved until 1560, a formerly conical moth on an artificially raised hill with a tower, was the original seat of the Lords of Pienzenau . Around 1065 the castle is called "Bientzenova arx". Pienzenau Castle can be assumed as the later headquarters . Today only the rest of the castle hill with a leveled ring moat still bears witness to the former castle complex .
