Sinatengrün tower hill

The Tower Hill Sinatengrün is an Outbound medieval motte (Motte) at the location of the apartment building Sinatengrün 1 (property Rogler) in Sinatengrün, a district of Wunsiedel in the district of Wunsiedel in Bavaria .

The 20 × 22 meter core mound of the moth enclosure was surrounded by a moat . Found pottery shards point to the 13th to 14th centuries, other glazed shards and a bronze fitting decorated with plant ornaments to the 15th to 16th centuries. Presumably the former castle house on the tower hill served a ministerial as a small residence .
