The Klingenburg, also called Schlössle or Mühlburg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle on the Burbachfelsen near the Schiltach district of Hinter-Lehengericht in the Rottweil district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was probably part of a defensive line Schiltach Castle - Klingenburg - Schilteck Castle, to secure and monitor the Schiltach valley. The castle was built around 1240 by the Dukes of Teck as an observation tower and mentioned in 1591 as "Alt Burgstadel" and "Clingenburg". Nothing remains of the former castle complex except for a corner of a wall, the stump of a keep, with bossed ashlar.
