Burgwalden — a village of ponds and a vanished manor
The approach to Burgwalden takes in a low valley, ponds and a small group of buildings. The surviving church and the line of the valley help explain where the village grew.
Bronfeiten
Burgwalden is a village within Bobingen in Bavarian Swabia. The city records that the earlier settlement was known as Ettenhofen. A church and a moated residence were built here under the Höchstetter family in the early sixteenth century. The residence was later demolished.
Redactionele duiding
The city’s history describes a farm and mill at Ettenhofen before the Höchstetter family transformed the place. Look at the relationship between the church and the water when considering the former manor. The settlement is still visible as a cluster within the valley, even though the moated house itself has disappeared.
Aanbeveling
Start with the lanes near the church and choose a waymarked path for a view back across the valley. Check with the village association before planning an interior visit to the church or the small museum in the former bakehouse.
