Burg Ermengerst stands in Wiggensbach (Landkreis Oberallgäu), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Ermengerst once stood on a hilltop at 850 metres above sea level, at the site known as 'am Hohen Egg', near the village of Ermengerst, now part of Wiggensbach. First recorded in 1037 as the seat of a ministerial family serving Kempten Abbey, it is also said to have housed local marshals, and a knight connected to the castle is mentioned in 1288 in relation to the capture of Feste Iberg. No remains of the former stronghold have survived, so the site today marks only its historical location.
