    Walkenstein Castle, also known as Falkenstein or Valkenstein, is the ruin of a spur castle located at 359 meters above sea level on the western spur of the "Webersköpfle" hill near the village of Walke, part of the municipality of Oberwolfach in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg. Of the former castle complex, which consisted only of a residential tower, only the square foundation remains of the tower, measuring 7.80 by 8.75 meters with an average wall thickness of 1.50 meters, are still preserved. These foundations are up to two meters high.
