Waldstein Castle is a ruined hilltop castle on a 510 m above sea level high hill near the "Franzosenhof" in the Waldstein Valley near the municipality of Fischerbach in the Ortenaukreis district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was built by the Lords of Waldstein, mentioned in 1353, and fell into disrepair after 1500. Of the former castle complex on a rock plateau measuring 40 by 10 meters, only minor wall remains are preserved.
