Château du Petit-Ringelstein stands in Oberhaslach (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Petit-Ringelstein castle is little more than a dry-stone enclosure crowning a small summit above Oberhaslach, in the Bas-Rhin area of France. Nothing certain is known of its history, and its present form may result from a later rebuilding. Visitors mostly reach it while hiking through the forest, passing a nearby quarry that once yielded bossed stones dated to the early thirteenth century.
