    Waldenstein Castle is the ruin of a spur castle situated on a 385-meter-high (1,100 ft) mountain spur overlooking the Wieslauf Valley in the Waldenstein district of the municipality of Rudersberg in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg.

    The castle was built around 1200 by the Lords of Waldenstein, presumably imperial ministeriales (unfree knights) of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. They are first documented in 1251 – by then already in the service of Württemberg – (last mention in 1349). Subsequently, the Württembergers mortgaged the castle. After 1456, it was granted as a fief to noble and bourgeois families.
