Burg Baldenberg stands in Spaichingen (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Baldenberg was a spur castle at the southern end of the Dreifaltigkeitsberg plateau, above the town of Spaichingen. Nothing of the structure stands today: what remains is an archaeological trace, namely a massive earthen rampart northwest of the church and ditch remnants marking the outer and main bailey at the southern tip of the hill. The site carries a much older history too, having reportedly served as a refuge and possibly a solar cult site in prehistoric times.
