The Tower Hill Guttenberg is an Outbound Turmhügelburg (Motte) in the field of forestry house Guttenberg in Guttenberger Forest (south of Wurzburg ) about 2900 meters west of the local Church of Liberec in the district of Würzburg in Bavaria . It is not to be confused with the ruins of the hilltop castle of the Guttenberg ruins , which is located about 250 meters south-southwest of it.

The tower hill, of which almost nothing is known, was located in the area of ​​today's forester's house and near today's deserted Rockenstatt , a village that was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and went down. The ground monument with the number D-6-6225-0241 is placed as a moth in the high to late Middle Ages and was overbuilt by later hunting castles from the 16th to 19th centuries, which have also already been removed. In its place today stands the forester's house Guttenberg (restaurant with beer garden), in which remains of an inscription plaque from 1556 from the abandoned first hunting lodge are installed.
