Dalberg Castle, also called Dalburg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle in the valley of the Gräfenbachs, which flows into the Nahe via the Ellerbach near Bad Kreuznach. It rises above the local municipality of Dalberg in the district of Bad Kreuznach in Rhineland-Palatinate.
A godebold of Weyersbach (Weierbach) had this castle built around 1150 on an exposed position and secured itself by a Speyerisches fief. Already in the 14th century the original client family died out. Johann Kämmerer of Worms brought in this time in the possession of this castle and added henceforth his family name Kämmerer of Worms the addition "called of Dalberg" at.

With the advances in weapons technology, the exposed location offered no advantage, so they built the new Wallhausen Castle in the valley, which is still owned by the heirs today. The former castle collapsed and was used as a quarry in the 19th century.

The 60 by 45 meter rectangular castle complex had a four-storey ten by ten meter residential tower, two round towers in the east, a Dietherbau with Dietherturm, a 12 meter high keep with a diameter of eight meters and a wall thickness of two meters, and a former "Antoniuskapelle" with corner tower. The plant was protected by a ring wall and a neck trench. Today, considerable remnants of the surrounding walls can still be seen. Partly remains of the original plaster have been preserved.
