The Tower Hill Haidenkofen is an Outbound medieval motte (Motte) 250 meters east of the bridge over the Hartl But , a tributary of the Great Laber and 450 meters southeast of the church of the district Haidenkofen the Upper Palatinate Municipality Sünching in the district of Regensburg in Bavaria .
There are no reliable dates about the castle. The small castle probably served to control the bridge over the "Hartlaber" and to protect the so-called "Ochsenstraße", an important old street in the Middle Ages .
Today the tower hill is completely leveled and only hinted at in the aerial photograph.
