Burg Hoheneck (Ludwigsburg) stands in Hoheneck (Landkreis Ludwigsburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Hoheneck is a ruined medieval castle standing on a spur above the Hoheneck district of Ludwigsburg, overlooking the Neckar river. Built around 1200 by Margrave Hermann V of Baden, it later passed to the Hack von Hoheneck family and eventually to the Counts of Württemberg, after which it fell into disuse and decay from the 16th century onward. What remains today is a stretch of wall and a square corner tower, itself rebuilt in 1837 as a romantic ruin folly for a Baron von Röder. The grounds are now private property and can only be viewed from outside, amid terraced vineyards.
