The Otterswang ruin is the ruin of a spur castle on a 635 m above sea level high mountain spur high above the Schussen Valley, 900 meters northwest of the Otterswang district of the spa town of Bad Schussenried in the Biberach district in Baden-Württemberg.
The complex, designed as a castle, was presumably built by the Lords of Otterswang in the 11th century, mentioned around 1083, and had fallen into disrepair by the 19th century. Former owners included the Lords of Gundelfingen, the Schenken von Winterstetten, and the Lords of Emerkingen. Parts of the curtain wall, foundations of the tower, and the moat are still preserved from the former castle complex. Next to the ruin is the "Burg-Café".
